Description
The DermaRite Oil Emulsion Dressing is a knitted cellulose gauze saturated with USP mineral oil and petrolatum emulsion. The oil lets exudate pass through to a secondary dressing while the contact layer refuses to stick. Donor sites and burns, where adherence causes the most pain, are its home ground.
- Oil Soaked Gauze – Knitted gauze saturated with mineral oil and petrolatum emulsion.
- Non-Adherent Contact – Releases from donor sites and burns without sticking.
- Pass-Through Design – Exudate moves through to the secondary dressing.
Oil Emulsion Non-Adherent Dressing
This oil emulsion dressing pairs a knitted cellulose acetate gauze with an emulsion of USP mineral oil and petrolatum. The open knitted construction lets wound exudate pass through to an absorbent secondary dressing, while the oil emulsion keeps the contact layer non-adherent to the wound. That combination protects delicate healing tissue at removal. The dressings are indicated for donor sites, lacerations, burns and abrasions. Sizes include 3 in x 3 in, 3 in x 8 in, a long 3 in x 16 in strip and a 5 in x 9 in sheet.

Why Choose Oil Emulsion Dressings
Some wounds should never meet a dry, sticky dressing: donor sites and burns top the list. Oil emulsion gauze is the traditional, proven answer, passing fluid through while releasing from the bed without a fight. This line covers the standard sizes plus a long strip for linear wounds.
- Pain Sparing Removal – The oil emulsion layer releases from delicate tissue without tearing it.
- Proven Format – Oil emulsion gauze is a long established choice for donor sites and burns.
- Fluid Passes Through – Exudate moves to the secondary dressing instead of macerating the bed.
- Strip Coverage – The 16 inch strip handles long grafts and incisions in one placement.
