Dukal 223 - Oil Emulsion Dressing, 3" x 16", 1/PK, 36/BX
The Dukal 223 Oil Emulsion Dressing is a sterile, non-adherent wound contact layer designed to protect delicate tissue while allowing exudate to pass freely into a secondary dressing. Measuring 3 x 16 inches, this dressing is ideal for larger wounds that require extended coverage. Each pack contains one dressing, and there are 36 packs per box, making it suitable for both clinical use and bulk stocking.
Key Benefits
The oil emulsion coating helps prevent the dressing from sticking to the wound bed, which reduces patient discomfort during dressing changes and minimizes trauma to healing tissue. Its design ensures exudate management by transferring fluids to a secondary absorbent dressing, supporting a moist wound healing environment. Sterile packaging supports infection control in clinical and home care settings.
Compatibility and Applications
The Dukal 223 Oil Emulsion Dressing is compatible with a wide range of secondary dressings, including gauze pads and absorbent wraps. It is suitable for partial and full-thickness wounds, donor sites, lacerations, burns, abrasions, and surgical incisions. Commonly used in hospitals, wound care clinics, long-term care facilities, and home healthcare, it provides versatile protection for a variety of wound types.
Usage Guidelines
Cleanse the wound and surrounding skin according to clinical protocol before application. Open the sterile pack and place the oil emulsion dressing directly over the wound bed, ensuring complete coverage. Secure with an appropriate secondary absorbent dressing. Change frequency depends on the level of wound exudate and clinical assessment. Do not reuse or re-sterilize.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The product is sterile, single-use, and produced under medical device quality standards. It meets applicable regulatory requirements for wound care products in the United States and other regions. Check product labeling for details on FDA listing, CE mark, or other certifications applicable to your region.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with standard gauze dressings, the Dukal 223 Oil Emulsion Dressing reduces wound adherence, lowering the risk of tissue disruption during dressing changes. Unlike non-impregnated dressings, its oil emulsion coating supports atraumatic removal and helps maintain a moist wound environment, promoting faster healing. Its larger 3 x 16 inch format provides broader coverage than smaller non-adherent dressings, reducing the need for multiple layers.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This dressing is typically used by wound care nurses, physicians, and healthcare providers managing acute and chronic wounds. It is especially useful for patients with fragile skin or painful wounds where atraumatic dressing removal is critical. Application scenarios include burn units, surgical recovery, and home care management of chronic wounds.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not use if the packaging is open or damaged. Always use aseptic technique during dressing application. Select an appropriate secondary dressing to absorb exudate and secure the emulsion layer in place. Dispose of after use according to facility protocols and local regulations.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This product is intended for single use only. Do not reuse or resterilize. Ensure that the packaging is intact before opening. Follow clinical guidelines and healthcare facility protocols when selecting and applying this dressing.
