Sterile Oil Emulsion Impregnated Non-Adhering Wound Dressing - USP Petrolatum Gauze (White)

Premium Sterile Oil Emulsion Impregnated Non-Adhering Wound Dressing for Advanced Wound Care Management

This professional-grade sterile oil emulsion impregnated dressing delivers superior non-adherent wound protection, enhanced patient comfort, and optimal healing conditions for a wide range of acute and chronic wound types. Infused with a carefully formulated emulsified blend of U.S.P. (United States Pharmacopeia) white petrolatum, this medical-grade gauze dressing creates an ideal moist wound healing environment while preventing painful adherence to delicate wound beds, newly formed granulation tissue, and fragile periwound skin.

USP Petrolatum Emulsion for Optimal Wound Healing Environment

The advanced oil emulsion formulation features pharmaceutical-grade U.S.P. white petrolatum uniformly distributed throughout the dressing material, creating a protective barrier that maintains optimal moisture balance at the wound interface. This emulsified petrolatum blend prevents the dressing from adhering to moist wound surfaces, newly epithelialized tissue, skin grafts, and donor sites, eliminating the trauma, pain, and tissue damage associated with dressing removal. The petrolatum emulsion also helps maintain a moist wound environment that has been clinically proven to accelerate healing, promote autolytic debridement, reduce scarring, and enhance patient comfort throughout the healing process.

Open Mesh Knitted Fabric Construction for Superior Drainage

The specialized open mesh, knitted fabric design allows wound exudate, blood, and other fluids to pass freely through the dressing into secondary absorbent layers, preventing fluid accumulation at the wound bed that could lead to maceration, bacterial proliferation, or delayed healing. This breathable construction minimizes occlusion while maintaining the protective petrolatum barrier, creating an optimal balance between moisture retention and excess fluid management. The open weave structure also permits oxygen exchange and allows topical medications, antimicrobial solutions, and other wound care treatments to penetrate through the dressing to reach the wound surface.

Non-Adherent Technology for Trauma-Free Dressing Changes

The sterile non-adherent surface resists sticking to wound beds, granulation tissue, epithelial cells, and periwound skin, dramatically reducing pain, trauma, and tissue disruption during dressing changes. This gentle removal characteristic is particularly critical for patients with fragile skin, pediatric populations, elderly patients, burn victims, and individuals with painful wounds who experience significant anxiety and discomfort during traditional dressing changes. The non-adherent properties also preserve newly formed tissue, prevent disruption of the healing process, and reduce the risk of bleeding or wound bed damage during routine wound care procedures.

Compatible with Secondary Dressings and Topical Treatments

This versatile primary wound contact layer is fully compatible with a comprehensive range of secondary absorbent dressings, compression bandages, topical antimicrobial agents, enzymatic debriding ointments, growth factors, and other advanced wound care treatments. The petrolatum emulsion does not interfere with the therapeutic action of topical medications, allowing healthcare providers to customize wound care protocols based on individual patient needs, wound characteristics, and treatment objectives. This compatibility makes the dressing an ideal foundation for complex, multi-layer wound care regimens in both acute and long-term care settings.

Trim-to-Fit Design Without Shredding or Unraveling

The durable knitted fabric construction resists shredding, fraying, and unraveling when cut or trimmed to size, allowing healthcare professionals to customize dressing dimensions to precisely match wound geometry, irregular wound shapes, and anatomically challenging locations. This trim-to-fit capability reduces waste, improves cost-efficiency, and ensures optimal wound coverage without excess material that could cause discomfort, create pressure points, or interfere with patient mobility. The stable edge integrity maintains dressing performance even after customization, preventing fiber shedding or contamination of the wound bed.

Key Clinical Features and Benefits

Comprehensive Wound Care Applications

Ideal for minor burns and thermal injuries, skin grafts and donor sites, surgical incisions and post-operative wounds, abrasions and superficial lacerations, pressure injuries and ulcers (Stage I-II), venous stasis ulcers and arterial ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, traumatic wounds and road rash, radiation therapy skin reactions, dermatological procedures and biopsy sites, circumcision care, episiotomy wounds, and any wound type requiring non-adherent primary contact layer with moisture retention properties.

Versatile Healthcare Settings

Perfect for hospital wound care departments, surgical centers and operating rooms, emergency departments and urgent care facilities, burn units and trauma centers, long-term care and skilled nursing facilities, home health and hospice care, outpatient wound clinics, dermatology and plastic surgery practices, pediatric care facilities, occupational health and industrial first aid stations, and any healthcare environment requiring reliable, sterile, non-adherent wound dressings.

Clinical Evidence Supporting Moist Wound Healing

Extensive clinical research demonstrates that moist wound healing environments created by petrolatum-impregnated dressings accelerate epithelialization, reduce healing time, minimize scarring, decrease infection rates, and improve overall wound outcomes compared to dry gauze dressings. The non-adherent properties preserve fragile new tissue formation and prevent the mechanical trauma that can set back healing progress by days or weeks.

Quality Standards for Medical Wound Care

Manufactured to rigorous sterility and quality standards appropriate for medical wound care applications, this dressing meets the demanding requirements of healthcare facilities where patient safety, infection control, and healing outcomes are paramount. The U.S.P. grade petrolatum ensures pharmaceutical purity and consistency, while the sterile packaging maintains product integrity until point of use.
