ZIPZOC
Zinc Oxide Medicated Stocking
ZIPZOC medicated stocking is a sterile, single use, 20% zinc oxide-impregnated stocking that aids in the treatment of chronic venous leg ulcers, eczema, dermatitis, cellulitis and hyperkeratosis. Widely used in wound management and dermatology, ZIPZOC works by forming a protective barrier on the skins surface shielding it from moisture and irritants. In cases of chronic venous insufficiency, ZIPZOC may be used as a primary contact layer under compression therapy systems**.
Patient Comfort
ZIPZOC supports patient comfort by providing symptom relief and soothes damaged skin through its zinc oxide formulation. Its preservative-free composition helps minimize the risk of reactions in patients with sensitive skin. Additionally, because it may require only a retention bandage, patients can continue wearing their regular footwear.
Ease of Use
ZIPZOC’s stocking format makes application and removal simple, helping to save valuable time during dressing changes. Formulated with white soft paraffin and liquid paraffin, ZIPZOC remains moist and does not adhere to the wound when changed frequently. Therefore, making it suitable for use as a primary contact layer.
- Quick and easy application – Saves time during dressing changes.
- Low-adherent – Minimizes discomfort.
- Preservative and gelatin-free – Reduces the risk of skin reactions.
- Soothing and comfortable – Helps relieve symptoms and support healing.
- Cost-effective – Can be worn up to 7 days.
- Versatile – Can be used under compression therapy** or covered with a simple retention bandage
