White Petroleum

I was told that fougera has discontinued making the white petroleum in 5 gram packets. Anyone know of any other manufacturers making unit dose packets of white petroleum? The only thing I could find was 16.8 gram tubes of brand name vaseline. Just curious to see how other facilites are handling this. Thanks.

Re: White Petroleum

I order Curad brand petroleum jelly 5 gram packets thru our supply company Owens and Minor. They come in a box of 144 packets.(My storeroom supply manager places the order for me when I need them.)
I had not been able to get them from our wholesaler for several months now.

Bobbi,

Thank you so much for your help! The Curad product is actually cheaper than what I was paying for the Fougera product! Thanks again.
