The Covidien 8884431605 Xeroform Occlusive Gauze Strip is an advanced wound care product designed to provide an optimal healing environment for a variety of wound types. Known for its soothing properties and protective capabilities, Xeroform gauze strips are essential in both clinical and home care settings.

Key Features and Benefits

Occlusive Design
The Xeroform Occlusive Gauze Strip features an occlusive design, creating a protective barrier over the wound. This barrier helps to maintain a moist wound environment, which is crucial for promoting the natural healing process. The occlusive nature of the gauze prevents the wound from drying out, reducing the risk of scabbing and scarring, and facilitating faster tissue regeneration.

Impregnated with Xeroform
These gauze strips are impregnated with a blend of petrolatum and 3% bismuth tribromophenate, known as Xeroform. This combination provides a soothing effect and helps reduce pain and discomfort at the wound site. Bismuth tribromophenate is known for its antiseptic properties, which aid in preventing infection and maintaining a sterile wound environment.

Versatile Applications
The Covidien Xeroform Gauze Strips are suitable for a wide range of wound care applications, making them a versatile addition to any medical kit. They are particularly effective for use on low to non-exudating wounds, including:

• Post-surgical incisions: Protects surgical sites and promotes healing by maintaining a moist environment.
• Skin grafts and donor sites: Provides a protective covering that prevents infection and promotes adherence of the graft.
• First and second-degree burns: Offers a soothing and protective layer to enhance healing and minimize discomfort.
• Lacerations and abrasions: Protects minor cuts and scrapes from infection and helps speed up the healing process.

Easy Application and Removal
The Xeroform Occlusive Gauze Strips are designed for easy application and removal, minimizing trauma to the wound and surrounding skin. The petrolatum-based formula prevents the gauze from sticking to the wound bed, ensuring that dressing changes are less painful for the patient. The gauze strips can be cut to size, allowing for customization to fit various wound shapes and sizes.

Promotes Healing
By maintaining a moist wound environment, the Xeroform Gauze Strips promote autolytic debridement, which helps to naturally remove dead tissue and debris from the wound. This process supports the body’s own healing mechanisms, leading to faster and more efficient wound healing.
