Key features ensuring effective, moist healing:

  • Moisture Retention: The sterile, knitted gauze is impregnated with a specialized blend including petroleum, mineral oil, and paraffin oil to sustain critical moisture levels.
  • Non-Occlusive & Maceration Prevention: The design is non-occlusive (allowing the wound to breathe) and actively works to minimize the risk of surrounding skin and tissue maceration.
  • Non-Adherent: It remains non-adherent to the wound bed, which ensures gentle, trauma-free removal.
  • Impregnating Agent: The formulation includes 3% bismuth thiophanate for comprehensive wound management.
What key ingredients impregnate the dressing?

The Dynarex Xeroform Petrolatum Dressing is saturated with a sterile, non-adherent blend designed to facilitate a moist healing environment. This effective formulation ensures the dressing minimizes adherence to the wound bed, reducing trauma during changes.

The key components of the impregnating blend are:

  • Active Therapeutic Agent: 3% Bismuth Thiophanate
  • Petrolatum Base: A combination of mineral oil, petroleum, and paraffin oil

This composition is non-occlusive, allowing the wound to breathe while maintaining necessary moisture, which helps significantly in minimizing the risk of surrounding skin and tissue maceration.
