DermaRite Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 3 x 9 Inch

Dermarite DermaRite Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 3 x 9 Inch

The Dermarite DermaRite Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing is a nonadherent wound dressing designed to support faster, more comfortable healing across a wide range of wound types. Saturated with a petrolatum (petroleum jelly) emulsion, this dressing helps create and maintain a moist wound environment, which is widely recognized as ideal for promoting healthy tissue growth. It's well suited for anyone managing skin tears, abrasions, lacerations, surgical incisions, donor sites, and other minor to moderate wounds at home or in a clinical setting.

Because the dressing is nonadherent, it won't stick to the wound bed, so dressing changes are gentler and less likely to disrupt newly formed tissue. Its soft, flexible construction offers excellent conformability, clinging effortlessly to body contours for comfortable, secure wear even over hard-to-dress areas. The petrolatum coating helps shield the wound while allowing exudate to pass through to a secondary dressing, supporting a clean and protected healing space day after day.

Each dressing measures 3 x 9 inches (7.5 x 22.5 cm) and is individually sterilized for safety and reliability. It's available as a Single dressing or a convenient Box of 50 for frequent wound care needs. These dressings are commonly FSA/HSA eligible.
