McKesson Hydrogel Gauze Dressing - Sterile White Square 2x2 Inch for Wound Care

Advanced Hydrogel Impregnated Gauze Dressing for Optimal Wound Healing

The McKesson Hydrogel Impregnated Gauze Dressing delivers superior moisture management for effective wound care in clinical and home healthcare settings. This sterile 2" x 2" (5 cm x 5 cm) white square dressing is specifically engineered as a primary dressing for wounds with light to no exudate, providing essential moisture balance to support the body's natural healing processes.

Moisture-Balanced Wound Healing Technology

Designed to add or maintain optimal moisture levels at the wound site, this hydrogel-impregnated gauze creates and sustains a moist wound healing environment that is clinically proven to accelerate healing. The advanced hydrogel formulation assists in autolytic debridement, allowing the body to naturally break down and remove necrotic tissue while protecting healthy granulation tissue. This moisture-retentive technology helps prevent wound bed desiccation, reduces pain during dressing changes, and promotes faster epithelialization for improved patient outcomes.

Clinical Applications and Wound Types

Ideal for managing a wide range of wound types including partial-thickness wounds, minor burns, abrasions, lacerations, surgical incisions, donor sites, and chronic wounds such as pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and venous stasis ulcers. The hydrogel formulation is particularly effective for wounds that require moisture donation or maintenance, making it an essential component of modern wound care protocols in hospitals, long-term care facilities, outpatient clinics, and home health environments.

Key Clinical Features and Benefits:

• Hydrogel Impregnation: Advanced moisture-donating technology maintains optimal wound bed hydration for enhanced healing
• Autolytic Debridement Support: Promotes natural removal of necrotic tissue without mechanical trauma to the wound bed
• Moist Wound Environment: Creates ideal conditions for cellular migration, proliferation, and tissue regeneration
• Sterile Single-Use Design: Individually packaged to ensure aseptic application and prevent cross-contamination
• Latex-Free Construction: Not made with natural rubber latex, reducing risk of allergic reactions in sensitive patients
• Optimal Size: 2" x 2" (5 cm x 5 cm) square format provides versatile coverage for small to medium wound areas
• Primary Dressing Application: Designed for direct wound contact with appropriate secondary dressing coverage
• Peri-Wound Skin Protection: Compatible with moisture barrier ointments or barrier films to prevent maceration of surrounding healthy tissue

Professional Application Guidelines

This hydrogel gauze functions as a primary wound contact layer and requires coverage with an appropriate secondary dressing based on exudate levels and desired dressing change frequency. Healthcare professionals should assess peri-wound skin condition and apply a moisture barrier ointment or barrier film as needed to protect intact skin from maceration. The dressing should be changed according to clinical assessment, wound condition, and facility protocols to maintain optimal moisture balance throughout the healing process.

Quality and Safety Standards

Manufactured to rigorous medical device quality standards, each dressing is sterile and individually packaged for single-use application. The latex-free formulation ensures patient safety across diverse populations, including those with latex sensitivities. Suitable for use in acute care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, wound care clinics, physician offices, and home healthcare settings where professional wound management is required.
