The Dukal 1412 Gauze Pad is a high-quality, sterile wound dressing designed to provide effective absorption and protection for a variety of wound types. Each pad measures 4 x 4 inches and is constructed from 12 ply cotton gauze for enhanced strength and absorbency.

They are conveniently supplied as 1 pad per pack, with 100 packs per box and 12 boxes per case, making them ideal for both small scale and bulk medical use.

Key Benefits

The 12 ply construction provides superior absorbency compared to lower ply alternatives, helping to manage wound exudate effectively. The sterile packaging reduces the risk of infection and cross contamination, ensuring patient safety. Soft cotton material delivers comfort and minimizes irritation, while the strong weave maintains pad integrity during use. Convenient bulk packaging supports cost efficiency for facilities that require consistent stock.

Compatibility and Applications

Dukal 1412 gauze pads are compatible with a wide range of medical environments, including hospitals, clinics, emergency rooms, long-term care facilities, and home healthcare. They are suitable for cleaning wounds, absorbing exudate, cushioning injury sites, and serving as secondary dressings. Their 4 x 4 inch size provides versatile coverage for both small and medium-sized wounds.

Usage Guidelines

Clean and disinfect the wound according to clinical protocol before applying the gauze pad. Remove the pad from its sterile pouch, taking care to maintain aseptic technique. Place the pad directly over the wound site and secure with medical tape, elastic bandage, or a secondary dressing. Replace the gauze pad as needed when saturated or according to wound care guidelines. Do not reuse sterile pads.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

The Dukal 1412 Gauze Pad is manufactured in compliance with industry standards for sterile wound care products. It is designed to meet applicable safety and quality regulations, ensuring reliability for professional healthcare use. Regulatory certifications can be verified on product labeling and packaging.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Compared to standard 8 ply gauze pads, the Dukal 1412 12 ply pads provide greater absorbency and durability, reducing the frequency of dressing changes.
