DermaRite Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 6 x 36 Inch

Dermarite DermaRite Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 6 x 36 Inch

The Dermarite DermaRite Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing is a nonadherent wound dressing saturated with soothing petrolatum, designed to protect a wide range of wounds while supporting the body's natural healing process. Measuring a generous 6 x 36 inches (15 x 91 cm), it's ideal for patients and caregivers managing skin tears, abrasions, lacerations, surgical sites, donor sites, and other minor to complex wounds that benefit from a gentle, moisture-retentive layer.

Petrolatum-impregnated gauze works by creating a moist wound environment that helps accelerate healing while keeping the dressing from sticking to the wound bed. Because it's nonadherent, it can be removed with minimal trauma and less discomfort at each dressing change. Its soft, flexible construction conforms to body contours, clinging effortlessly around joints, digits, and irregular surfaces for comfortable, secure wear throughout the day.

This dressing is individually sterilized for safety and reliability, and its large size can be cut or folded to fit various wound types and sizes for versatile wound management. It is available as a Single dressing or a convenient Box of 12 for ongoing care. Many home wound-care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a petrolatum impregnated dressing used for?
A: It is a nonadherent contact layer placed directly on the wound to keep it moist, protect the tissue, and prevent the dressing from sticking, which supports faster, more comfortable healing.

Q: Will this dressing stick to my wound?
A: No. The petrolatum coating makes it nonadherent, so it lifts away from the wound bed easily and helps minimize pain and trauma during dressing changes.

A: This listing is the 6 x 36 inch (15 x 91 cm) dressing, which can be trimmed or folded to fit smaller wounds or applied full-size for larger areas.
