One Hundred Dressings, Two Boxes

Nothing disrupts healing like pulling off a bandage that has stuck to the wound. The Kemp USA Petroleum Gauze Dressing is a primary dressing built to prevent that. Each 3" x 9" strip is fully impregnated with white petrolatum, creating a non-adherent interface between the wound and the secondary dressing. This listing ships two boxes, 100 dressings in total.

The non-stick layer maintains a moist wound environment, which supports the body's natural autolytic healing process and keeps the dressing from drying out and bonding to the scab or granulation tissue. It is widely used on minor burns, donor sites, skin grafts, and abrasions where preserving fragile new skin matters. The fine mesh gauze conforms to body contours for full contact without linting or unraveling.

Pack Configuration

Two boxes of 50 dressings each, 100 dressings in total. Every dressing is individually peel-packed.

Key Features

  • Non-Adherent Impregnation: Saturated with white petrolatum so the dressing acts as a non-stick layer, making removal far less painful.
  • Moist Wound Healing: Keeps the wound bed from drying out, supporting re-epithelialization.
  • Conformable Mesh: The soft, fine-mesh gauze drapes over irregular wound surfaces such as fingers, toes, and joints.
  • Sterile Protection: Individually peel-packed to maintain sterility until the moment of application.
  • Latex-Free and DEHP-Free: Safe for sensitive skin and patients with latex allergies.
  • Two Boxes Per Pack: 100 dressings covers a burn kit and a restock without a second order.

Why It Matters

Dry gauze on a burn or a raw abrasion causes pain and re-injury on removal. Petroleum gauze acts as a release layer, letting you change outer bandages without disturbing the healing tissue underneath. It belongs in any burn kit or trauma bag, and at 100 dressings a facility is not rationing it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many dressings come in this listing?

This listing supplies 100 dressings as two boxes of 50. Each dressing measures 3 inches by 9 inches and is individually wrapped in a peel-open foil pack. That quantity suits hospitals, emergency departments, ambulances, and burn kits where non-adherent dressings are used regularly and running short means reaching for dry gauze instead.

Why choose petroleum gauze over a standard non-adherent dressing?

The Kemp USA Petroleum Gauze Dressing is impregnated with white petrolatum to maintain a moist wound environment, which supports autolytic healing for low-draining wounds, minor burns, and donor sites. Unlike dry gauze that can stick and disrupt healing tissue on removal, this fine-mesh dressing is conformable and non-adherent, which minimizes trauma during dressing changes. It is also latex-free and DEHP-free for patients with sensitivities.

Can petroleum gauze be used on burn wounds in the field?

Yes. Petroleum gauze is commonly carried in EMS, fire rescue, and tactical medical kits for minor burns. The impregnated gauze keeps the dressing from adhering to burn tissue, reduces pain on removal, and supports a moist healing environment. The 3 by 9 inch size gives good coverage for extremity burns, donor sites, and low-exudate wounds seen in prehospital care. Follow your agency's burn protocols for anything beyond a minor burn.

What makes the 3 by 9 inch size practical for emergency kits?

The 3 by 9 inch dimension balances coverage against portability. It is long enough to wrap around a limb, cover a linear laceration, or protect a donor site, and compact enough to fit in jump bags, glove compartments, and tactical med pouches. Combined with the sterile, non-adherent petrolatum coating, that size works for first responders and outdoor medics who cannot carry a full wound care cabinet.

Is this product HSA/FSA eligible?

This product is tagged as HSA/FSA eligible, so Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account funds can generally be used. Purchases of qualified medical supplies are typically reimbursable when used for medical care or first aid. Keep the receipt and product documentation for your plan administrator, and confirm coverage under your specific plan.
