Dukal 207-12 - Petrolatum Dressing, 3" x 18", 1/PK, 12PK/BX
The Dukal 207-12 Petrolatum Dressing is a sterile, single use wound care product designed to provide a moist healing environment. Measuring 3 x 18 inches, this non adherent dressing is impregnated with petrolatum to prevent the bandage from sticking to the wound bed, making it ideal for burns, skin grafts, and other wounds requiring gentle protection. Packaged as 1 dressing per pouch and 12 pouches per box, it offers both convenience and flexibility in clinical and home care settings.
Key Benefits
The petrolatum infusion helps maintain a moist wound environment, which is essential for optimal healing. Its non adherent properties minimize trauma and pain during dressing changes, making it highly suitable for sensitive or fragile skin. The 3 x 18 inch size provides excellent coverage for larger wounds or donor sites, reducing the need for multiple dressings. Its sterile, single use format enhances infection control while simplifying wound care protocols.
Compatibility and Applications
This dressing is compatible with a variety of secondary dressings, such as gauze wraps or absorbent pads, to manage wound exudate effectively. It is widely used in hospitals, burn centers, surgical clinics, and long term care facilities. Typical applications include partial thickness burns, donor and graft sites, lacerations, abrasions, and chronic wounds where gentle, non sticking protection is required.
Usage Guidelines
Cleanse the wound according to clinical protocol before application. Remove the dressing from its sterile pouch and place it directly over the wound surface, ensuring full coverage. Secure with an appropriate secondary dressing as needed. Change the dressing as directed by a healthcare professional, typically once daily or when clinically indicated. Do not reuse or re sterilize.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal Petrolatum Dressing is manufactured to meet stringent quality and safety standards for sterile wound care products. It is latex free and packaged sterile for single use. Regulatory compliance, including FDA listing and adherence to applicable ISO and CE standards, ensures its reliability and suitability for professional healthcare environments.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with traditional gauze dressings, the Dukal Petrolatum Dressing offers superior non adherence and moisture retention, significantly reducing trauma during dressing changes. Its larger 3 x 18 inch size provides more versatile coverage compared to smaller petroleum gauze pads, making it more efficient for use on extensive wounds. The cost effective box of 12 makes it a practical choice for both clinical and outpatient use.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Users include wound care specialists, burn unit staff, surgeons, and home healthcare providers. Patients benefit from reduced pain and improved healing conditions in situations such as burn care, skin graft aftercare, or chronic wound management. This product is particularly valuable in cases where atraumatic removal and moisture retention are priorities.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Open the pouch only when ready for use and maintain aseptic technique during application. Always secure with an appropriate secondary dressing to ensure stability. Dispose of after single use in accordance with facility protocols and local medical waste regulations.
