Dukal 214 - Xeroform Dressing, 2" x 2", 1/PK, 25PK/BX
The Dukal 214 Xeroform Dressing is a sterile, non-adherent wound dressing infused with a petrolatum and 3 percent bismuth tribromophenate blend. Measuring 2 x 2 inches, this dressing is individually packaged for single use and supplied 25 packs per box. It is designed to provide a moist wound healing environment while protecting the wound from external contaminants. The non-adherent nature of the dressing helps reduce trauma and pain during dressing changes.
Key Benefits
This dressing promotes optimal wound healing by maintaining a moist environment and preventing the wound bed from drying out. The petrolatum base soothes and protects the wound, while the bismuth component offers deodorizing and mild antiseptic properties. Its non-adherent structure ensures minimal disruption of new tissue growth during dressing changes, improving patient comfort. Individually wrapped packs support sterile handling and reduce cross-contamination risks.
Compatibility and Applications
The Dukal Xeroform Dressing is compatible with secondary absorbent dressings such as gauze or foam when additional fluid management is required. It is commonly used in hospitals, outpatient facilities, and home healthcare. Typical applications include covering burns, donor sites, skin grafts, surgical incisions, lacerations, and other exudating wounds requiring a protective barrier and moisture retention.
Usage Guidelines
Cleanse the wound according to clinical protocol and gently pat dry. Open the sterile package and apply the Xeroform Dressing directly over the wound surface. Secure in place with an appropriate secondary dressing or bandage. Change the dressing as directed by a healthcare professional or when clinically indicated. Do not reuse. Dispose of according to medical waste guidelines.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal 214 Xeroform Dressing is manufactured under strict medical device quality standards and supplied sterile for single use. It is designed to comply with applicable FDA regulations for wound care products. Users should verify packaging for region-specific certifications and regulatory labeling to ensure compliance with local standards.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with traditional petrolatum gauze dressings, the Dukal Xeroform Dressing incorporates bismuth tribromophenate, which provides added deodorizing and mild antiseptic benefits. Unlike plain gauze that can adhere to wound beds, the non-adherent petrolatum-based design reduces pain during dressing removal. Its consistent impregnation and individually wrapped format enhance reliability and sterility compared to bulk packaged alternatives.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Wound care nurses, surgeons, and emergency clinicians commonly use this dressing for post-surgical wounds, donor sites, and partial thickness burns. It is also appropriate for home healthcare providers managing chronic wounds that require moisture retention and protection. Patients benefit from greater comfort during dressing changes and improved wound healing support.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store dressings in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always check packaging integrity before use and discard if damaged. Avoid overlapping multiple layers directly on the wound unless additional absorption is required and guided by clinical protocols. Ensure proper disposal after each use to maintain infection control standards.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This product is intended for external use only. Do not use on individuals with known sensitivity to bismuth tribromophenate or petrolatum-based dressings. Use under the guidance of a licensed healthcare professional. Follow institutional policies and applicable regulations regarding the use of sterile wound dressings.
