Medline CUR253180W Curad Xeroform Petrolatum Dressing 1inch x 8inch (x)

The Medline CUR253180W Curad Xeroform Petrolatum Dressing is an advanced wound care product designed to promote healing in a variety of wound types while protecting against infection. Measuring 1 inch by 8 inches, this non-adherent dressing is coated with a blend of petrolatum and 3% bismuth tribromophenate, providing a soothing, moist environment that is essential for optimal wound healing. The Xeroform dressing is ideal for use in managing open wounds, burns, donor sites, and surgical incisions.

Key Features:

Non-Adherent Design: One of the standout features of the Curad Xeroform Petrolatum Dressing is its non-adherent nature. The dressing does not stick to the wound bed, ensuring that it can be easily removed or changed without causing additional trauma or pain to the patient. This makes it especially useful for wounds that require frequent dressing changes, as it helps maintain patient comfort and protects the delicate, healing tissue.

Petrolatum-Based Formula: The dressing is infused with petrolatum, which helps maintain a moist wound environment. Moisture is critical for promoting faster healing, as it facilitates cell migration and tissue repair. The petrolatum in the Xeroform dressing prevents the wound from drying out, which can cause discomfort and delay healing. Additionally, it helps to protect the wound from outside contaminants and irritants.

3% Bismuth Tribromophenate: The dressing is impregnated with 3% bismuth tribromophenate, a compound that provides mild antibacterial protection. Bismuth tribromophenate helps reduce the risk of infection in the wound by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, making the Xeroform dressing suitable for wounds that are at risk of infection. The antibacterial properties of bismuth tribromophenate are gentle, making it safe for use on sensitive skin and various wound types.
Versatile Wound Applications: The Curad Xeroform Petrolatum Dressing is designed for a variety of wound types, including:

Minor burns
Surgical incisions
Donor sites
Skin grafts
Lacerations
Abrasions
Pressure ulcers The dressing’s versatility makes it a valuable tool in both hospital settings and at-home wound care.

Promotes Healing in Low-Exuding Wounds: The Xeroform dressing is particularly effective for wounds with minimal to moderate exudate. It helps maintain the right balance of moisture without becoming saturated, which is important for preventing maceration of the surrounding skin. The petrolatum in the dressing serves as a barrier, locking in moisture while protecting the wound from external contaminants.

Flexible and Easy to Apply: The dressing is highly flexible and can be easily cut or shaped to fit the wound site. Its 1-inch by 8-inch size is ideal for long, narrow wounds such as surgical incisions or donor sites, but it can also be adjusted to accommodate smaller or irregularly shaped wounds. The dressing conforms comfortably to the wound and surrounding skin, ensuring complete coverage.

Sterile and Individually Wrapped: Each Curad Xeroform Petrolatum Dressing is supplied sterile and individually wrapped to ensure cleanliness and reduce the risk of contamination. This makes it safe for use in clinical, surgical, and home care environments where infection control is essential.
Ideal for Moist Wound Healing: The petrolatum-based formulation creates an optimal moist environment, which is essential for epithelialization and wound closure. Moist wound healing has been shown to speed up the healing process, reduce scarring, and improve overall outcomes.

Indications for Use:

Minor to moderate exuding wounds
Post-surgical incisions
Burns and skin grafts
Donor sites
Lacerations and abrasions
