CURAD Nonadherent Oil Emulsion Gauze Dressing, Sterile

The CURAD Sterile Oil Emulsion Non-Adherent Gauze Dressing is a safely packaged sterile dressing to treat wounds, abrasions, burns, deep cuts, or post-surgical wounds. The gauze dressing is used by doctors to start the healing process of these sorts of wounds. With the sterile nature, the dressing can be used as both a primary and secondary wound dressing for continued protection against bacteria and viruses; and work as a deterrent against the growth of germs.

The CURAD Non-Adherent Oil Emulsion Gauze Dressing is made of high-porosity acetate. If you are unfamiliar with this, it is the material most films in photography are made with. It is durable and porous enough to carry the impregnation of the white petrolatum solution for maximum beneficial use with the restorative process. The nonocclusive feature of the dressing helps minimize skin maceration, which is caused when the skin has been in constant contact with moisture, which wears down the skin so that it looks white and feels soggy; at this stage, the skin becomes easy to tear and allow infections to enter the body. With a highly conformable material, the Curad Oil Emulsion Gauze Dressing is best for lightly draining wounds as it works as a collective and retains drainage.

To use the dressing, it must be used directly on the wound under a secondary dressing. This helps to keep the dressing in place and also to collect drainage from the wound that may have spilled out. When prepping a wound, proper washing of the affected area is standard practice for all procedures. To help you clean the area, you can take a look at some of our skin cleansing options, such as the Vashe Cleansing Solution for Skin, Wounds, and Burns.
