Medline PluroGel® Burn and Wound Dressing

Medline PluroGel® Burn and Wound Dressing is a water-soluble, cell-friendly wound gel designed to support a moist healing environment while helping soften and remove wound debris. Its unique micelle matrix allows the gel to remain in place within the wound bed for extended protection and effectiveness, making dressing changes more comfortable — especially for pain-sensitive patients.

Formulated to help protect healthy tissue and manage wound debris, PluroGel® supports healing across a wide range of acute and chronic wounds.
