This wound dressing clings to the application site to create a protective barrier around cuts, scraps, abrasions, and other minor wounds. When used under a bandage, the gel keeps the wound moist to maximize the healing process. Protects as it heals by keeping dirt and debris out of the wound. Safe for sensitive areas as it will not cause dermal irritation. For best results, thoroughly clean the wound with Vetericyn All Animal Wound and Skin Care.
