Dukal 224 - Oil Emulsion Dressing 5" x 9" 1/PK, 12PK/BX
The Dukal 224 Oil Emulsion Dressing is a sterile, non-adherent wound contact layer designed to promote healing while preventing trauma during dressing changes. Measuring 5 x 9 inches, this dressing is impregnated with a soothing oil emulsion that provides a moist wound environment and reduces the risk of the dressing sticking to the wound bed. Each unit is individually wrapped for sterility, and the box contains 12 packs for clinical convenience.
Key Benefits
The oil emulsion coating creates a protective barrier that minimizes pain and tissue disruption when the dressing is removed. Maintaining a moist environment supports optimal healing conditions for wounds such as abrasions, burns, lacerations, and donor sites. The sterile, single-use packaging reduces infection risk, while the large size provides generous coverage for moderate to large wound areas.
Compatibility and Applications
This dressing is compatible with secondary absorbent dressings, bandages, or tape to secure it in place. It is commonly used in hospitals, wound care clinics, emergency rooms, and home healthcare settings. Applications include use on burns, skin grafts, surgical incisions, and other wounds requiring a non-adherent protective layer that maintains moisture.
Usage Guidelines
Clean and dry the wound site according to clinical protocol before application. Open the sterile pouch and gently place the oil emulsion dressing directly over the wound. Cover with a suitable secondary absorbent dressing and secure with a bandage or tape. Change the dressing as directed by a healthcare professional or when clinically indicated. Do not reuse or resterilize.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal 224 Oil Emulsion Dressing is manufactured in compliance with medical device quality and safety standards. It is sterile and single-use, meeting regulatory requirements for wound management products. Packaging may display CE mark, FDA clearance, or other regional certifications confirming adherence to healthcare regulations.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Unlike traditional gauze dressings that can stick to the wound and cause pain upon removal, the Dukal Oil Emulsion Dressing offers a non-adherent surface that reduces trauma. Compared with paraffin gauze dressings, the oil emulsion formulation provides more consistent moisture retention and comfort. Its larger 5 x 9 size provides better coverage than smaller alternatives, making it especially versatile for clinical use.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Typical users include wound care nurses, surgeons, emergency clinicians, and home healthcare providers. This dressing is particularly suited for patients with burns, skin grafts, and traumatic injuries where gentle dressing changes are critical. It is also ideal in postoperative settings where wound healing requires a moist and non-disruptive environment.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store in a cool, dry place and avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Use aseptic technique during dressing changes to minimize infection risk. Ensure full coverage of the wound site and select an appropriate secondary dressing to manage exudate. Replace the dressing promptly if sterility is compromised or the dressing becomes saturated. Dispose of used dressings in accordance with facility and local waste handling guidelines.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This product is intended for single use only. Do not use if the package is opened or damaged. Use under the supervision of healthcare professionals and follow institutional protocols for wound care. Ensure compatibility with other wound care products as part of the overall treatment plan.
