A wound covering typically in the form of a porous material (e.g., a fine mesh) impregnated/coated with a substance (e.g., petrolatum, silicone) or made of a material that prevents adherence to the wound bed, thereby decreasing the potential for trauma to the wound and surrounding skin upon removal; it does not contain an antimicrobial agent. Its pores permit the drainage of exudates from, and application of medication to, the wound. It may be used with other wound-care products for chronic and postoperative wounds, burns, skin graft fixation/cultured-cell carrier, cuts, or abrasions; it is neither a dedicated burn dressing nor gauze. This is a single-use device.
