The Dukal 1313-10 Gauze Pad is a sterile, 12 ply wound care dressing measuring 3 x 3 inches. Each pad is individually packaged to maintain sterility and provide a convenient single use option. With 10 packs per box and 60 boxes per case, this product offers dependable bulk supply for hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare environments. Its soft cotton construction ensures high absorbency while protecting sensitive wound areas.

Key Benefits

These gauze pads provide excellent fluid absorption, helping to keep wounds dry and clean. The 12 ply thickness offers increased durability and cushioning compared to lighter pads. Sterile packaging reduces the risk of infection, while the 3 x 3 inch size makes them versatile for a wide range of wound types. The single use design enhances patient safety and simplifies dressing changes.

Compatibility and Applications

The Dukal 1313-10 Gauze Pad is compatible with standard medical tapes, wraps, and secondary dressings. It is suitable for general wound care, post surgical incisions, trauma care, and dressing changes in inpatient and outpatient settings. It can be applied directly to wounds or used as a secondary dressing to absorb exudate and protect the wound bed.

Usage Guidelines

Clean and disinfect the wound area before applying the gauze pad. Remove the pad from its sterile packaging and place it directly over the wound site. Secure with tape, wrap, or bandage as needed. Replace with a fresh sterile pad according to wound care protocols or when the pad becomes saturated. Do not reuse.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

Dukal gauze pads are manufactured under strict quality control and conform to industry standards for sterile wound care products. They are designed to comply with applicable healthcare regulations and sterile barrier requirements. Check packaging for current regulatory marks and approvals such as FDA listing or CE certification.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Compared to standard non woven dressings, Dukal 12 ply gauze pads provide higher absorbency and greater strength, reducing the number of dressing changes required. The individually wrapped sterile packs ensure readiness for immediate use, unlike bulk packaged alternatives that may risk contamination. Their consistent quality makes them a reliable choice for clinical environments where sterility and absorption are critical.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

These gauze pads are used by nurses, physicians, caregivers, and first responders across hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare settings. They are most effective for post operative care, wound dressing in trauma or emergency situations, and routine wound management in long term care facilities.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Store the gauze pads in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight. Always check the packaging for damage before use and discard if sterility is compromised. Apply only once and dispose of according to facility protocols for medical waste. Do not attempt to wash, reuse, or resterilize.

Regulatory and Safety Information

This product is sterile and for single use only. Do not use if the individual pack is opened or damaged. Follow institutional infection control procedures when handling and applying wound dressings. Ensure disposal complies with healthcare facility and local regulations.
