Derma Sciences Petrolatum Gauze Non-Adhering Dressings, Sterile, Latex-Free

Derma Sciences Petrolatum Gauze Non-Adhering Dressings are sterile wound dressings made of fine, soft, conformable gauze impregnated with white petrolatum. Because the gauze does not stick, it lifts away with minimal trauma to the wound bed when the dressing is changed. The petrolatum keeps a moist environment that is conducive to wound healing, and the dressing serves as non-adherent packing for full-thickness wounds. It is made for full-thickness chronic wounds such as pressure ulcers (stages II to IV), tunneling wounds and non-infected wounds, and is not made with natural rubber latex. The dressings come in three sizes.

Keeping a stage I or II pressure sore covered with a dressing protects it against infection and helps keep it moist so it can heal. Gauze is one of several dressing types used, along with film, gel and foam, and the right one depends on the size and stage of the sore, so choose it with your provider. Most stage III and IV sores are treated by a provider.
