The Dukal 1312 Gauze Pad is a sterile, 12 ply wound care product designed to deliver superior absorbency and protection. Measuring 3 x 3 inches, each pad is individually packaged to maintain sterility until use. Sold in convenient units of 1 pad per pack, 100 packs per box, and 24 boxes per case, this product is ideal for facilities that require high volume wound dressing supplies for daily medical procedures.

Key Benefits

The 12 ply construction provides excellent absorbency for managing moderate wound exudate. Individually wrapped packaging supports infection control protocols by ensuring sterility at the point of use. The soft, 100 percent cotton material is gentle on skin and wound beds, reducing the risk of irritation while maintaining effective wound coverage. Multiple layers allow for reliable cushioning and protection.

Compatibility and Applications

This gauze pad is compatible with a wide range of wound care protocols and can be paired with adhesive tape, elastic bandages, or retention dressings. Commonly used in hospitals, outpatient clinics, emergency departments, and home healthcare, the Dukal 1312 is suited for postoperative wounds, traumatic injuries, general wound cleansing, and dressing changes where sterile coverage is required.

Usage Guidelines

Cleanse the wound and surrounding area according to clinical protocol. Open the sterile pack immediately before use and apply the gauze pad directly over the wound site. Secure the pad with medical tape or a secondary dressing. Replace as needed when saturated, compromised, or according to wound care guidelines. Do not reuse or resterilize.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

Dukal gauze pads are manufactured under strict quality controls and conform to industry standards for sterile wound dressings. They are designed to meet applicable regulatory requirements for sterile, single use medical devices. Packaging should be checked for certification markings such as CE or FDA listing where applicable.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Compared with lower ply gauze pads, the Dukal 1312 offers enhanced absorbency due to its 12 ply construction. Its individually wrapped sterile packaging ensures reliability, whereas bulk packaged gauze may pose a higher risk of contamination. The products balance of absorbency, softness, and cost efficiency makes it a preferred choice for facilities seeking dependable wound care supplies.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

Primary users include nurses, physicians, and caregivers who require sterile wound coverage in both acute and long term care settings. Application scenarios range from surgical aftercare and trauma wound management to routine dressing changes in clinical and home care environments. The product is particularly well suited for medium sized wounds requiring moderate absorption.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Always inspect the packaging before use and do not use if the sterile seal is damaged. Apply aseptic technique when handling to minimize infection risks. Dispose of used gauze pads in accordance with medical waste disposal protocols. Store unused gauze pads in a cool, dry environment away from moisture and direct sunlight to preserve packaging integrity.

Regulatory and Safety Information

For single use only. Do not attempt to reuse or reprocess. Use only on intact sterile packaging. Follow healthcare facility guidelines and local regulatory requirements for wound dressing selection, application, and disposal.
