The CURAD® Sterile Plain Packing Strips (½″ width × 5 yards length) are sterile, tightly-woven cotton gauze strips designed specifically for wound-care applications involving packing, drainage, or tunneling. These strips are crafted of 100% cotton and engineered to resist fraying and linting, offering a clean, dependable option for clinicians.
Each strip is supplied sterile and designed for single-patient use, which supports infection control protocols. The ½″ width allows easy insertion into narrow wound channels or sinus tracts, while the 5-yard length provides ample material to cut to size as needed.
These plain (non-impregnated) packing strips are ideal when a clinician prefers to add their own topical agent or accommodate a custom wound-care regimen. Their versatility makes them suitable for a variety of draining or tunneled wounds including boils, abscesses, fistulas, sinus tracts, or post-operative sites requiring a drainage conduit.
