Sterile Oil Emulsion Nonadherent Gauze Dressings, 3" x 3"

Sterile oil emulsion nonadherent gauze dressings are wound contact dressings for lightly draining wounds. They are a practical choice for clinical care settings that need a conformable primary dressing that helps exudate flow while reducing adherence to granulating tissue. This 3 inch x 3 inch dressing is sterile, nonocclusive, latex free, and intended for use under an absorbent secondary dressing.
