Dukal 220 - Oil Emulsion Dressing, 3" x 3", 1/PK, 50PK/BX
The Dukal 220 Oil Emulsion Dressing is a non-adherent wound care dressing measuring 3 x 3 inches. Each sterile pack contains one dressing, and the box includes 50 individual packs for convenient clinical use. Designed with an oil emulsion coating, it helps maintain a moist wound environment while preventing the dressing from sticking to the wound bed. This ensures atraumatic removal and improved patient comfort during dressing changes.
Key Benefits
The oil emulsion layer minimizes disruption of new tissue growth by preventing adhesion to the wound. It promotes a moist healing environment, which is beneficial for faster recovery and reduced scarring. The single-use, sterile packaging enhances infection control, while the 3 x 3 inch size offers versatile coverage for small to medium-sized wounds. The design supports less painful dressing changes, improving patient experience and compliance.
Compatibility and Applications
This dressing is compatible with secondary absorbent dressings, wraps, and bandages. It is widely used in hospitals, wound care centers, clinics, and home healthcare settings. Typical applications include use on donor sites, skin grafts, lacerations, abrasions, surgical incisions, and chronic wounds where non-adherence is critical to the healing process.
Usage Guidelines
Cleanse the wound area according to clinical protocol before application. Remove the sterile dressing from its packaging and place it directly over the wound bed. Secure with an appropriate secondary dressing or bandage to hold it in place. Replace the dressing as directed by healthcare providers or when it becomes saturated. Do not reuse or resterilize.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal 220 Oil Emulsion Dressing is manufactured under strict quality controls to meet industry standards for sterile wound care products. It is latex-free and designed to comply with FDA and other applicable regulatory requirements. Certifications and approvals on the packaging confirm adherence to recognized safety and performance standards.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Unlike traditional gauze dressings that may adhere to the wound and cause trauma upon removal, the Dukal 220 offers superior non-adherence due to its oil emulsion coating. Compared to hydrogel or foam dressings, it provides a simpler, cost-effective solution for wounds requiring minimal disruption during dressing changes. Its balance of protection, comfort, and affordability distinguishes it from more complex wound care products.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Healthcare professionals such as wound care nurses, surgeons, and emergency staff frequently use this dressing in both acute and long-term care settings. It is particularly effective in treating donor sites, burns, surgical wounds, and chronic ulcers. Patients who require atraumatic dressing changes and those with fragile or sensitive skin benefit greatly from its gentle, non-adherent design.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always inspect the packaging before use to ensure sterility is intact. Apply using aseptic technique to reduce the risk of contamination. Change dressings according to the wound care plan or clinical judgment. Dispose of used dressings in accordance with institutional and local medical waste regulations.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This product is intended for single use only and should not be reused. Do not use if the sterile pouch is damaged or compromised. Use under the direction of a qualified healthcare professional. Ensure proper disposal after use and follow institutional protocols for wound dressing application.
