Dukal 205-12 - Petrolatum Dressing, 1" x 36", 1/PK, 12PK/BX
The Dukal 205-12 Petrolatum Dressing is a sterile, single-use wound care product designed to provide a moist healing environment while protecting the wound site. Measuring 1 x 36 inches, this dressing is impregnated with petrolatum to prevent adherence to the wound bed, reducing trauma during dressing changes. It is individually packaged for convenience and supplied 12 packs per box, making it suitable for both small and large healthcare facilities.
Key Benefits
The petrolatum-infused material helps maintain a moist wound environment, which is clinically proven to support faster healing. Its non-adherent properties minimize patient discomfort and protect delicate granulation tissue during dressing removal. The long 36 inch strip can be cut to size, allowing for customized application in various wound types and sizes. The sterile packaging ensures each use is safe and hygienic.
Compatibility and Applications
This dressing is compatible with a wide range of secondary dressings, including gauze and adhesive bandages. It is ideal for use in hospitals, wound care clinics, long term care facilities, and home healthcare. Common applications include covering surgical incisions, lacerations, abrasions, donor sites, and minor burns. It is also effective in protecting skin graft sites and managing wounds requiring non adherent coverage.
Usage Guidelines
Cleanse the wound according to clinical protocol before applying. Remove the petrolatum dressing from its sterile package and cut to the desired size if necessary. Place the dressing directly over the wound site, ensuring full coverage, and secure with an appropriate secondary dressing. Change the dressing according to the healthcare providers instructions or when it becomes saturated or compromised. Do not reuse.
