Description

The Xeroform Petrolatum Dressing, Sterile, 5x9 inches, contains 3% Bismuth Tribromophenate infused in a petrolatum blend and applied on fine mesh gauze. This combination creates a versatile wound dressing that adheres gently to the skin while conforming closely to the body's contours. This conformability makes it suitable for use on wounds of varying depths and sizes, ensuring effective coverage and compression therapy where needed.

Primarily used in medical settings, this dressing helps maintain a moist wound environment, which is conducive to healing. The petrolatum blend acts as a barrier against moisture loss and external contaminants, thereby protecting the wound bed from potential infections and promoting tissue regeneration. Its non-adherent nature prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound, minimizing trauma during dressing changes and enhancing patient comfort.

Healthcare professionals rely on Xeroform Petrolatum Dressings for their efficacy in managing both shallow and deep wounds, including surgical incisions, abrasions, and ulcers. By supporting a moist healing environment and providing a protective barrier, this sterile dressing contributes to improved patient outcomes by facilitating the natural healing process while reducing the risk of complications.
