Petroleum Gauze Dressing (12/box)

Petroleum Gauze Dressing is a non-adherent, sterile wound care solution designed to provide a moist healing environment while protecting delicate tissue. Ideal for treating burns, donor sites, lacerations, and abrasions, this dressing features fine mesh gauze impregnated with a white petroleum ointment. Its flexible structure allows it to conform comfortably to the wound bed without sticking, reducing pain during dressing changes and supporting natural healing.
