Dukal 209-12 - Petrolatum Dressing, 6" x 36", 1/PK, 12PK/BX
The Dukal 209-12 Petrolatum Dressing is a sterile, non-adherent wound dressing designed to provide a moist healing environment while preventing the dressing from sticking to the wound bed. Measuring 6 x 36 inches, this dressing is versatile and easy to cut to size for a wide variety of wound care applications. Impregnated with petrolatum, it helps protect the wound site, supports natural healing, and reduces patient discomfort during dressing changes.
Key Benefits
The petrolatum base maintains a moist wound environment, which is clinically shown to support faster healing and reduce the risk of wound desiccation. Its non-adherent surface minimizes trauma and pain upon removal, especially beneficial for sensitive wounds or patients requiring frequent dressing changes. The large size allows customization for different wound shapes and coverage needs, making it a cost-effective option for wound care providers.
Compatibility and Applications
This dressing is widely compatible with secondary absorbent dressings and bandages. It is commonly used in hospitals, surgical centers, clinics, and home healthcare settings. Applications include treatment of burns, lacerations, abrasions, skin grafts, donor sites, and post-surgical wounds where a moist, non-sticking barrier is required.
Usage Guidelines
Clean and prepare the wound site according to clinical protocol. Cut the petrolatum dressing to the desired size using sterile scissors. Apply directly over the wound and secure with an appropriate secondary dressing or bandage. Change the dressing as directed by clinical guidelines or when saturated. Do not reuse or re-sterilize.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal Petrolatum Dressing is manufactured in compliance with medical device quality standards and supplied sterile for single use. It is designed to meet regulatory requirements for wound dressings and is suitable for professional healthcare environments. Regulatory status and certifications may vary by region and can be confirmed on the product packaging.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to traditional gauze dressings, the Dukal Petrolatum Dressing provides superior non-adherence and moisture retention. Unlike dry dressings that can stick to wounds and disrupt healing tissue, this dressing ensures atraumatic removal and improved patient comfort. Its larger 6 x 36 inch format offers more flexibility and efficiency than smaller petrolatum dressings, reducing waste and cost per use.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Primary users include wound care specialists, surgeons, nurses, and caregivers managing acute and chronic wounds. This product is particularly useful in surgical recovery, burn treatment, and long-term wound management in hospital and home care settings. Patients benefit from reduced pain, better healing conditions, and a lower risk of wound complications.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Always maintain sterile technique when handling the dressing. Cut only with sterile scissors to maintain sterility of unused portions. Use an appropriate absorbent secondary dressing to manage exudate. Discard any unused portions if sterility is compromised. Do not attempt to wash or reuse.
Regulatory and Safety Information
