CARBOU 4"x4" Xeroform Petrolatum Dressings — 25-Pack Sterile Non-Adherent Gauze Pads, Cuttable

CARBOU 4" x 4" Xeroform petrolatum dressings are soft, non-adherent mesh gauze pads pre-coated with petrolatum and 3% bismuth tribromophenate for use as a primary contact layer over wounds.

These individually wrapped sterile pads combine a lubricated, low-stick surface with breathable mesh to help protect wounds from external contamination while keeping a balanced moisture environment. Each 4" x 4" square is cuttable for a tailored fit and comes in a box of 25, making them practical for clinical settings, first-aid kits, or home care. The non-adhesive finish simplifies removal and reduces trauma to delicate tissue.

How does this dressing reduce sticking to wounds?

The dressing is coated with petrolatum, which provides a slick barrier between the gauze and healing tissue so the pad does not adhere. The fine mesh construction also minimizes fibers left behind during changes. Together they allow dressing changes with less pulling and discomfort.

• Petrolatum-coated surface prevents bonding to wound bed.
• Fine mesh avoids fiber shedding on removal.
• Non-adhesive design reduces pain and tissue disruption.

What wound types are suitable for this Xeroform dressing?

These pads are intended as a primary contact layer for a broad range of open wounds where a nonstick surface is preferred. They are commonly used over surgical sites, donor or graft areas, superficial burns, abrasions, and pressure-affected skin. They can be combined with secondary dressings to absorb excess drainage when needed.

• Surgical incisions and postoperative sites.
• Skin graft donor areas and graft protection.
• Minor burns, lacerations, abrasions, and pressure ulcers.

How do I apply, cut, and remove the CARBOU Xeroform pads?

Open the individual sterile pouch and position the petrolatum side down over the wound as a direct contact layer. Trim the square to fit the defect if necessary and secure with a secondary dressing or tape. When changing dressings, gently lift the edges—the lubricated surface typically releases easily without aggressive pulling.

• Trim with sterile scissors to match wound shape and size.
• Place petrolatum-coated side directly on the wound bed.
• Use a secondary dressing for absorption or fixation as required.
