Dukal 210 - Petrolatum Dressing, 1" x 8", 1/PK, 50PK/BX
The Dukal 210 Petrolatum Dressing is a sterile, non-adherent wound dressing designed to protect wounds while maintaining a moist healing environment. Measuring 1 x 8 inches, each dressing is impregnated with white petrolatum to prevent the dressing from sticking to the wound bed. Packaged as 1 dressing per pack with 50 packs per box, it is ideal for both hospital and clinical use where sterile, reliable dressings are essential.
Key Benefits
The petrolatum coating creates a non-adherent surface that minimizes trauma during dressing changes, reducing patient discomfort and supporting faster healing. The moist wound environment it provides promotes natural tissue repair and reduces the risk of scarring. Each dressing is sterile and individually wrapped, ensuring maximum safety and convenience in clinical workflows. Its long, narrow design is well-suited for surgical incisions and linear wounds.
Compatibility and Applications
This dressing is compatible with secondary absorbent dressings such as gauze or foam, which can be applied over the top to secure placement and absorb exudate. It is commonly used in hospitals, surgical centers, wound care clinics, and long-term care facilities. Applications include covering surgical incisions, skin graft donor sites, abrasions, lacerations, and other wounds where non-adherent protection is required.
Usage Guidelines
Cleanse the wound and surrounding skin prior to application. Remove the Dukal Petrolatum Dressing from its sterile pouch and place it directly over the wound bed. Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing to absorb fluid and secure in place. Change the dressing according to clinical protocol or when saturation occurs. Do not reuse or re-sterilize the product.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal 210 Petrolatum Dressing is manufactured in compliance with medical device quality standards for sterile wound care products. It is supplied sterile, single-use, and designed to meet applicable healthcare regulations. Users should confirm FDA listing and regional regulatory approvals on the product packaging.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with traditional plain gauze, the Dukal Petrolatum Dressing offers superior non-adherence, reducing the risk of wound disruption during dressing changes. Unlike paraffin gauze dressings that may dry out, its petrolatum impregnation maintains moisture longer and improves patient comfort. Its sterile, individually packaged format also simplifies handling compared to bulk packaged alternatives.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Typical users include wound care nurses, surgeons, emergency clinicians, and long-term care providers. This product is especially effective in postoperative care where delicate wound protection is required, as well as in outpatient wound care clinics and home health environments. Patients benefit from reduced pain during changes and improved healing conditions.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Always store the product in a clean, dry environment. Inspect packaging before use and discard if the sterile barrier is compromised. Apply with aseptic technique to minimize infection risks. Always use a suitable secondary dressing to secure the petrolatum layer and absorb drainage. Dispose of used dressings in accordance with facility protocols for biohazardous waste.
Regulatory and Safety Information
For single use only. Do not use if the sterile pouch is damaged or opened. Ensure the dressing is applied under the guidance of healthcare professionals. Follow local and institutional guidelines for wound care dressing application and disposal. Petrolatum impregnated dressings should not be used in cases where occlusive dressings are contraindicated.
