Dukal 206 - Petrolatum Dressing, 3" x 9", 1/PK, 50PK/BX
The Dukal 206 Petrolatum Dressing is a sterile, non-adherent wound care dressing designed to protect wounds while promoting a moist healing environment. Measuring 3 x 9 inches, each dressing is individually packaged to maintain sterility and comes in a bulk box of 50 packs for clinical convenience. The petrolatum coating ensures the dressing does not stick to the wound bed, making it suitable for sensitive wounds and reducing trauma during dressing changes.
Key Benefits
This dressing helps maintain a moist environment that supports natural healing and reduces scarring. The non-adherent surface minimizes pain and tissue disruption during removal, enhancing patient comfort. Its sterile single use design reduces the risk of infection, while the large 3 x 9 inch format provides coverage for medium to large wounds, surgical incisions, or graft sites. Packaged in bulk, it supports efficient stocking and cost-effective wound care management.
Compatibility and Applications
The Dukal Petrolatum Dressing is compatible with secondary dressings and can be secured with bandages, tapes, or wraps. It is widely used in hospitals, surgical centers, wound care clinics, and home healthcare environments. Common applications include use on donor sites, burns, abrasions, post-surgical wounds, and pressure ulcers where atraumatic removal and wound protection are critical.
Usage Guidelines
Cleanse the wound according to clinical protocol before applying the dressing. Remove the petrolatum dressing from its sterile pack and place it directly over the wound surface. Secure with a suitable secondary dressing or bandage to hold it in place. Change the dressing according to the condition of the wound, the level of exudate, or per healthcare provider recommendation. Do not reuse or re-sterilize.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal 206 Petrolatum Dressing is manufactured under strict quality control standards to ensure sterility and product reliability. It complies with applicable medical device safety and quality regulations. Certifications and regulatory approvals, such as FDA listing or CE marking, may be confirmed on the product packaging and labeling.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with standard gauze dressings, the Dukal Petrolatum Dressing offers a non-adherent petrolatum layer that reduces pain during dressing changes and minimizes tissue damage. Unlike plain gauze, it maintains a moist wound environment, which accelerates healing. Its individually wrapped sterile packs also provide convenience and assurance of product integrity compared to non-sterile alternatives.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Wound care nurses, surgeons, and healthcare providers in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities are primary users. It is especially relevant for patients requiring gentle, protective dressings, such as burn victims, surgical patients, or those with fragile skin. At home, caregivers can use it for ongoing wound management under professional guidance.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store the dressings in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Always open the sterile pack immediately before use. Avoid touching the wound contact surface during application. Use a suitable secondary dressing to secure the dressing in place and replace it if it becomes contaminated or compromised. Dispose of used dressings in accordance with medical waste protocols.
Regulatory and Safety Information
For single use only. Do not use if the sterile package is torn or damaged. Ensure application is supervised by or performed under the direction of a healthcare professional. Follow institutional guidelines and regulatory requirements for wound care product usage and disposal.
