Xeroform Dressing comes in different sizes and types for various wounds.

Occlusive dressings:

These dressings completely cover and protect the wound, keeping it moist for healing. They're best for wounds that don't have a lot of fluid coming out and are not very deep. They work well for surgical wounds and places where skin has been grafted. You can also use Xeroform Occlusive Gauze Strips to put pressure on wounds or pack them. They're suitable for both deep and shallow wounds.

Non-Occlusive dressings:

These dressings let air get to the wound. They are good for wounds like burns, scrapes, and chronic wounds with varying amounts of fluid coming out. They can also be used as a second layer of dressing.

Warnings

If sensitivity to bismuth tribromophenate exists in the patient, irritation may develop.

These dressings can be used by

• Doctors and nurses who treat different kinds of wounds.
• People with wounds or surgical areas that are still healing can also use these dressings.
