Dukal 212 - Xeroform Dressing, 1" x 8", 1/PK, 50PK/BX
The Dukal 212 Xeroform Dressing is a sterile, non-adherent wound dressing impregnated with a petrolatum blend and 3 percent Bismuth Tribromophenate. Measuring 1 x 8 inches, each dressing provides a protective barrier while maintaining a moist wound environment conducive to healing. Packaged as 1 dressing per pack and 50 packs per box, it is ideal for clinical and hospital use where consistent wound management is required.
Key Benefits
This dressing offers multiple advantages for wound care. The petrolatum base prevents the dressing from sticking to wounds, which minimizes trauma during dressing changes. The Bismuth Tribromophenate provides deodorizing and antimicrobial properties, helping reduce odor and lower the risk of infection. Its size makes it suitable for elongated wounds, surgical incisions, or donor sites, ensuring both comfort and reliable protection for patients.
Compatibility and Applications
The Dukal 212 Xeroform Dressing is compatible with secondary dressings such as gauze wraps or adhesive bandages for secure placement. It is commonly used in hospitals, surgical centers, burn units, and outpatient clinics. Applications include post-surgical incisions, skin graft donor sites, chronic wounds, and first and second-degree burns.
Usage Guidelines
Cleanse the wound according to clinical protocol before applying. Remove the dressing from its sterile pack and gently place it over the wound, ensuring full coverage of the affected area. Secure with an appropriate secondary dressing if needed. Change the dressing as directed by a healthcare professional or when saturation or soiling occurs. Do not reuse.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal 212 Xeroform Dressing is manufactured under strict quality control and complies with relevant healthcare safety standards. It is provided sterile, non-adherent, and single-use. Packaging will indicate regulatory approvals, confirming adherence to applicable medical device regulations for wound care products.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with traditional petrolatum gauze, Dukal Xeroform includes Bismuth Tribromophenate, which adds antimicrobial and deodorizing benefits. This distinguishes it from plain petrolatum dressings that lack odor control and antibacterial properties. Its individually packaged sterile units provide convenience and reduce waste, while competitor dressings may come in bulk rolls requiring additional preparation.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Healthcare professionals such as wound care specialists, surgeons, nurses, and emergency clinicians frequently use this product. It is particularly suited for patients with surgical incisions, skin graft sites, burns, or chronic wounds requiring a moist, protective barrier. Its gentle removal is ideal for individuals with sensitive or compromised skin.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always handle using aseptic technique to maintain sterility. Use with an appropriate secondary dressing for added protection and securement. Avoid stretching or tearing the dressing during application. Dispose of after a single use in compliance with institutional and local medical waste regulations.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This sterile dressing is intended for single use only. Do not use if the package is damaged or opened. Follow institutional protocols and healthcare professional guidance for wound care management. Patients should be monitored regularly to assess wound healing and ensure the continued suitability of the dressing.
