Dukal 1212-36B - Dukal Gauze Pad 2" x 2" 12-Ply, Sterile
The Dukal 1212-36B Gauze Pad is a sterile, 12 ply wound care dressing measuring 2 x 2 inches. Designed for maximum absorbency and strength, this gauze pad is individually wrapped to maintain sterility until use. Its soft, highly absorbent construction makes it suitable for a wide range of medical applications, including wound protection, exudate absorption, and general wound care management in clinical and home healthcare environments.
Key Benefits
The 12 ply thickness offers superior absorbency compared to standard 8 ply gauze pads, allowing for better fluid management in moderate exudating wounds. Each pad is sterile and single use, reducing infection risk and promoting a cleaner wound healing environment. The soft texture enhances patient comfort while maintaining structural integrity during use, minimizing lint and fiber shedding.
Compatibility and Applications
Dukal sterile gauze pads are compatible with a variety of wound care treatments and secondary dressings. They are widely used in hospitals, urgent care centers, long term care facilities, and home healthcare. Typical applications include post surgical wound care, first aid for cuts and abrasions, dressing changes for chronic wounds, and padding or protection for sensitive wound sites.
Usage Guidelines
Open the sterile pouch only at the time of use. Cleanse the wound area according to clinical protocol and apply the gauze pad directly to the wound site. Secure with medical tape, bandages, or secondary dressings as required. Change the pad frequently or when saturated to maintain an optimal healing environment. Dispose of used pads in accordance with infection control and facility guidelines. Do not reuse or re sterilize.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
Dukal gauze pads are manufactured under strict quality controls to meet medical device standards for sterile wound care products. Each pad is individually packaged and sterilized to comply with regulatory requirements for single use sterile dressings. Packaging may include FDA listing and CE marking where applicable, verifying compliance with recognized healthcare industry regulations.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to lower ply alternatives, the Dukal 1212-36B offers increased absorbency and durability, making it a preferred choice for wounds with moderate fluid output. Its sterile, individually wrapped packaging provides greater infection control assurance than bulk packaged gauze. The balance of softness, absorbency, and structural strength gives it an advantage over thinner or non sterile gauze products on the market.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Primary users include nurses, wound care specialists, and physicians in clinical settings, as well as caregivers and patients in home healthcare environments. This product is particularly beneficial for postoperative wound care, management of traumatic injuries, and dressing of chronic wounds requiring reliable absorbency and sterile application.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store gauze pads in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to preserve sterility. Always check the integrity of the package before use and do not use if the sterile barrier is compromised. Apply using aseptic technique to reduce contamination risk. Replace dressings regularly to maintain wound hygiene and prevent infection. Dispose of used gauze responsibly in accordance with medical waste handling protocols.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This product is for single use only and should not be reused or resterilized. Ensure packaging is intact prior to use.
