Vaseline Petrolatum Impregnated Gauze Dressing by Covidien is a non-adherent dressing used in wound care. It is a fine mesh and absorbent gauze that is impregnated with white petrolatum.
This gauze remains moist and is sterile, non-toxic, non-sensitizing, and non-irritating. This helps to minimize drying out and adherence.
The petrolatum gauze is occlusive and clings and conforms to all body contours. It helps seal air leaks and unwanted fluid loss.
This is a non-adherent fine mesh absorbent gauze that reduces pain and trauma during dressing changes. It is indicated in use for:
• minor burns
• skin donor sites
• tunneling wounds
• staple/suture lines
• lacerations
• abrasions
• skin grafts
• skin tears
• circumcisions
• umbilical bandage
• lightly exudating wounds
