Dukal 213 - Xeroform Dressing, 5" x 9", 1/PK, 50PK/BX
The Dukal 213 Xeroform Dressing is a sterile, non-adherent wound dressing impregnated with a petrolatum and 3 percent bismuth tribromophenate blend. Measuring 5 x 9 inches, it is designed to protect wounds while maintaining a moist healing environment. Each dressing is individually packaged to preserve sterility, with 50 packs conveniently boxed for clinical use. The formulation helps reduce odor and promotes healing by preventing the dressing from sticking to the wound bed.
Key Benefits
The petrolatum base provides a soothing barrier that maintains wound moisture, which is critical for optimal healing. The bismuth compound offers deodorizing and antimicrobial properties, improving patient comfort and wound care outcomes. Its non-adherent design reduces trauma during dressing changes, minimizing patient discomfort and preserving fragile new tissue. The 5 x 9-inch size is ideal for medium to large wounds or surgical sites.
Compatibility and Applications
This dressing is widely used in hospitals, surgical centers, and home healthcare settings. It is suitable for use on donor sites, lacerations, abrasions, surgical incisions, and partial thickness burns. It can also be applied beneath secondary dressings or bandages to maintain a protective, non-stick barrier while ensuring the wound remains moist.
Usage Guidelines
Cleanse the wound and surrounding skin according to protocol. Remove the sterile Xeroform Dressing from its package and apply it directly over the wound bed, ensuring full coverage. Secure with a secondary dressing or bandage as required. Replace the dressing according to the healthcare provider's instructions or when it becomes saturated. Do not reuse or re-sterilize. For external use only.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal Xeroform Dressing is manufactured under strict medical device quality standards and supplied sterile for single use. It complies with applicable regulatory requirements for wound dressings in the United States. Packaging may include FDA registration and lot traceability for added assurance of quality and safety.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to standard petrolatum gauze, the Dukal Xeroform Dressing offers the added benefit of bismuth tribromophenate, which provides antimicrobial and odor-reducing properties. This combination makes it more effective for controlling the wound environment and patient comfort than plain petroleum dressings. It is also competitively priced and available in bulk packaging, making it a cost-effective choice for high-volume clinical settings.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Users include wound care nurses, surgeons, emergency department staff, and home healthcare providers. It is especially effective in postoperative care, burn management, and trauma situations where a moist, non-adherent dressing is essential. Patients benefit from reduced pain during dressing changes and improved healing conditions.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store dressings in a clean, dry environment at room temperature. Apply with aseptic technique to maintain sterility and avoid contamination. Always secure with a compatible secondary dressing to ensure proper fixation. Dispose of after single use in accordance with medical waste regulations. Do not cut the dressing unless directed by a clinician to fit the wound dimensions.
Regulatory and Safety Information
For external use only. This product should not be used on patients with known sensitivities to bismuth tribromophenate or petrolatum. Ensure packaging integrity before use. Follow local guidelines and institutional policies regarding wound dressing use, disposal, and infection control practices.
