McKesson Xeroform Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing Strip 1" x 8" Sterile (BX/50E)

McKesson Xeroform Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing Strip 1" x 8" Sterile (BX/50E)

McKesson Xeroform Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing Strip 1" x 8" Sterile is a primary wound dressing designed for clinical and home-care settings where consistent, gentle contact layers are needed. This impregnated gauze strip contains 3% bismuth tribromophenate (Xeroform) and is intended to help support a moist wound environment while providing bacteriostatic and deodorizing characteristics. The strip format is practical for narrow wound areas, packing applications where clinically appropriate, and for use as a contact layer beneath secondary absorbent dressings.

This dressing is commonly selected for wounds with light or no exudate where a non-adherent, petrolatum-impregnated interface can reduce disruption during dressing changes. By helping maintain moisture at the wound surface, it can support autolytic debridement processes as part of a clinician-directed wound plan. The sterile, single-use design supports standard hygiene protocols across facilities and point-of-care environments, including clinics, physician offices, urgent care, long-term care, and home health.

McKesson Xeroform Petrolatum Impregnated Dressings are tan in color, made with gauze, and packaged for convenient dispensing. Each dressing is intended for single use. This product is not made with natural rubber latex, supporting latex-sensitive workflows.

Use this dressing as a primary contact layer as directed by clinical protocol. A secondary dressing may be applied to manage drainage and protect the site based on wound assessment. Selection of dressing frequency should be guided by exudate level, location, and facility standards.
