Vitale Petrolatum Dressings offer non-adherent, moisture-rich wound care designed to support optimal healing for incision sites, grafts, abrasions, and minor burns. Infused with white petrolatum, these soft cotton gauze dressings retain moisture, protect wounds from contaminants, and allow for comfortable, pain-free removal. Their flexible design adapts to irregular wound shapes, providing reliable and gentle care for both clinical and home use.
Features & Benefits:
- Advanced Moisture Retention: White petrolatum infusion creates an occlusive barrier that holds moisture in the wound, promoting faster healing.
- Non-Adherent Material: Cotton gauze ensures the dressing won't stick to the wound, minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes.
- Versatile Fit: Can be cut, folded, or wrapped to conform to wound cavities, extremities, or irregular surfaces for customized coverage.
- Protective Barrier: Shields the wound from environmental contaminants, lowering the risk of infection.
- Comfortable & Gentle: Maintains shape and flexibility, providing a pain-free experience and reliable coverage for delicate tissue.
