Does this product have a shelf life?

Based on the fact that it is in a petroleum form on sterile gauze in a sealed pouch, I wouldn't think so. This product is included in a lot of first aid kits, and essential to most medical tech kits. While I wouldn't buy more than I would ever anticipate being able to use, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase extra if there was a fantastic sale. However, based on the size of your wound/need, I would likely buy smaller sized pads for ordinary use. Once the pouch is opened, it is exposed to air/germs and shouldn't be used from one dressing to the next if exposed to the elements.

I do not know the published shelf life, but I have used one year old product which worked just fine. You might want to check with manufactuor or review product data sheet.

If unopened, it can remain on the shelf for at least one year. Check to see if there's an expiration date on the bottle. Products are usually good beyond the expiration date. But, if opened, refrigerate.

My recent purchase has almost 2 years remaining, so the product probably has at least a 2-year shelf life, could be more.

Honestly, I dont know about shelf life. I do know that the food i ordered two years ago I just used and it was fine. The dehydrated foods just last.

It doesn't have a short shelf life, but I can't remember how long it is off the top of my head. Go to the manufacture's site and contact them.

We used it right away so can't tell you about shelf life. I suggest contacting the company. Sorry.

I don't have an exact amount of time for its shelf life. But in my opinion, it lasts long enough to be satisfactory, whether in a drawer or whether it's been used to glue something. Nothing, as we know, lasts forever.

I bought it by the case. I really don't know exactly why there is a shelf life as it is completely dry and in a vacu-sealed package. I'll be honest, I've used it way past the shelf life and it was just fine.

Hi, Janice. I looked for an expiration date on the package, but I couldn't seem to find one. I think the shelf life is supposed to be for about two years, but I'm not sure.

The shelf life would be 1 year, once the product is open it is good for 5 days in the refrigerator..

I don't know what the maker suggests as a shelf life, but the product is freeze dried and sealed in a waxed container so you can count on it being good for a long time....

The package I have received had 1 year expiration date. So, assuming it wasn't very old, the shelf-life of this product is probably 12-18 months.

I'm not sure. We are sailors and plan to take it with us when we move aboard our boat. It is my understanding that the shelf life is about a year. It is an excellent product.

I'm sorry I have not noticed; however, it has been my experience that most products like this are used long before their shelf life expires. You might try going to the eminence website for a more definite answer.

I don't see one on the bottle. You may want to contact the manufacturer to see what the shelf life is for the product.
