Curad Sterile Oil Emulsion Gauze

Sterile Oil Emulsion Gauze

Sterile oil emulsion gauze is a nonadherent wound dressing made with knitted, high-porosity cellulose acetate impregnated with U.S.P. white petrolatum in an emulsion blend. It is a practical choice for lightly draining wounds, including minor burns, lacerations, and abrasions, when you need a dressing that helps exudate flow while minimizing adherence to granulating tissue. This sterile, latex-free dressing is used directly on the wound under an absorbent secondary dressing.
