The Curad Oil Emulsion Dressing 3 x 8 Inch is a non-adherent dressing that aims to reduce the pain of pulling or tugging on the skin when a wound is healing. You may have had experiences with other dressings that are not non-adherent where, when replacing the dressing, you find your wound being opened again through the scab being torn off, causing drainage to occur. These types of dressings (which are not non-adhering) can cause scarring if the scab is constantly being ripped off and the wound isn't allowed to heal properly.
The Curad 3 x 8 Inch Oil Emulsion Gauze Dressing is large enough to be convenient for large wounds and openings such as those made in surgical medical procedures. Many doctors highly recommend the use of these types of sterile dressings as they have features to decrease bacterial growth and protect from infections. Large abrasions or burns can often require a more extended healing process. The emulsion dressing is impregnated with USP white petrolatum to keep moisture on the wound for a better healing outcome.
A smaller size gauze dressing is available for smaller wound, a 3 x 3 inch dressing with the same benefits is also an option by Curad.
