Accepted Answer

Hi Dana, this listing is for just the 6oz dressing. Thank you.

Question 2

Can you use it on raw bedsore skin

Accepted Answer

Now that I am not sure about.  We used the Triad cream for wound care on my elderly dad.  It worked well for that.  As for just protecting skinthat's not necessarily a wound, we used calmoseptine ointment.

Question 3

Is this good for very badly cracked skin?

Accepted Answer

Triad is very good for severe skin irritation due to incontinence.

Question 4

what's the difference between this product and Destin

Accepted Answer

I work in a wound clinic. Desitin is generally a very creamy zinc oxide. An excellent barrier to apply to a patient's buttocks, perineum, perianal area, vulvar area to reduce moisture associate skin damage from urine, sweat, stool, etc. It will NOT stick or cover OPEN wounds. It is water "phobic". This is the difference between it and Triad. Triad water or moisture loving, "philic" if you will. It will adhere when applied in a thin layer over superficial, partial thickness and shallow full thickness wounds (generally used on areas too hard to make dressings stick) like the buttocks, sacrum, perineum, etc.  Apply it to the wound bed 1-3 times a day, and just out side the wound edges, but save the other in tact skin and large areas of "normal skin" for the cheaper Desitin.  
Remember Desitin wide around the wound, this stuff is for open wounds and breaks in skin. It can help clean them up (autolytically debride them) as much as protect them. I hope this helps a bit more and saves some money with use. It it good stuff.
