Dynarex Xeroform Petrolatum Medicated Fine Mesh Gauze Dressing for Wound Care, 4" x4", 25 Count

This is the second wound that I've used Xeroform dressings. The first was "road rash" from a motorcycle accident. The second wound is a deep laceration that needed 9 stitches.Xeroform keeps the wound from sticking to the gauze and keeps it moist for a quicker healing environment. The "non-stick" pads are a joke compared to this stuff. Do yourself a favor and get some Xeroform dressings for any wound large enough to require a gauze dressing. You'll thank yourself once you go to change your dressing. 100%Once the wound is healed this product will no longer help with scars. It is to help prevent scars formation, not to reverse scar appearance.As a side note the person who claimed it caused the unaffected portion of their skin to become irritated and red in the reviews here sounds like they may have had an allergic reaction to the petroleum oil product this bandage is coated with.

I have been in the medical field for over 23yrs and I love this product. I had to get over 20 stitches and when my wound and stitches started to heal it became very itchy I apply this product with gauze for no more than 8 hours and it started to heal very quick and did not itch. It kept it just moist enough so the skin wouldn’t heal over the stitches. Itchness is a sign of healing. I used this product and wrapped it in gauze for no more than 8hours, then unwrap for at least 8 hours to breathe to heal. I am not a doctor. This is just my experience.

These are excellent for soft tissue wounds. I had a very serious injury and it required constant bandage changes and for the price the same thing as CURAD. I used bacitracin over the top before padding and wrapping to prevent drying. I would cut them in half.

WARNING!!! Do not use this product!!! I am a nurse and used this on my healing surgical site yesterday. My site had looked great and was healing. Within less than 24 hrs, my surgical site is very red, inflamed and oozing pus. It raised a question in me as to whether the items are properly sterilized or such? . I googled the manufacturer Dynarex and they have had some legal action against them for violations. Furthermore, the label says “Rx Only” meaning only with a prescription. Neither Amazon nor the Seller requested a prescription for my purchase.

I ended up switching to these xeroform gauze pads because the other brand I had purchased from Amazon started drying out really bad. These ones are very good and don't stick to the wound at all, the price is also great.

A must have for wound care . Speed healing and keeps the dressing from sticking to the wound . It's the same product used at the hospital for my out patient wound care. Good to keep on hand.

Have to warp a bandage over but definitely great for almost all cuts, burns , cracked skin!My husband had a skin graft and they used this stuff and it’s best I’ve ever seen !

These dressings are so convenient and effective. They are a good size and save time and mess.
