Dukal 208 - Dukal Dressing, Petrolatum, 3x36 ST
The Dukal 208 Petrolatum Dressing is a sterile wound care product designed to provide a moist healing environment and prevent the dressing from adhering to the wound bed. Measuring 3 inches by 36 inches, this strip format allows clinicians to cut the dressing to the required size for optimal coverage. The petrolatum impregnated material protects delicate tissue and supports natural wound healing, making it ideal for use in surgical sites, burns, donor sites, and abrasions.
Key Benefits
The petrolatum infusion helps maintain a moist environment that promotes faster healing and reduces patient discomfort. Its non-adherent surface minimizes trauma during dressing changes, protecting fragile new tissue. The long 36-inch strip provides flexibility and efficiency by allowing customization for wounds of varying shapes and sizes. Sterile packaging ensures safety and reduces infection risk in clinical settings.
Compatibility and Applications
This dressing is compatible with secondary absorbent dressings, bandages, and tapes used in wound care. It is suitable for hospitals, surgical centers, emergency departments, and home healthcare use. Typical applications include post-operative wounds, partial thickness burns, donor sites, abrasions, and lacerations that require a protective, non-adherent layer.
Usage Guidelines
Clean the wound area according to clinical protocol. Cut the dressing strip to the appropriate size and place the petrolatum side directly over the wound. Secure with a suitable secondary dressing or bandage. Change the dressing as directed by the healthcare provider or when clinically indicated. Do not reuse or re-sterilize the product.
