Dukal 272 - Iodoform Packing Strip 1" x 5 yd, 12 BTL/BX
The Dukal 272 Iodoform Packing Strip is a sterile wound care product designed for effective management of draining or tunneling wounds.

The iodoform infusion helps provide antiseptic protection, supporting infection control and promoting optimal wound healing conditions.
Key Benefits
This packing strip delivers both physical wound support and antimicrobial benefits. The iodoform-impregnated cotton material assists in reducing bacterial growth in the wound bed, helping to minimize infection risks. Its soft, comfortable construction allows it to fill cavities and tunnels while maintaining patient comfort. The sterile packaging ensures safety and reliability for each use.
Compatibility and Applications
The Dukal 272 Iodoform Packing Strip is suitable for use in hospitals, wound care clinics, long-term care facilities, and home healthcare environments. It is commonly used for the treatment of abscesses, surgical wounds, fistulas, and other deep or draining wounds where packing is required. Compatible with standard wound care protocols, it can be used in conjunction with secondary dressings to maintain a clean and protected environment.
Usage Guidelines
Cleanse the wound area according to clinical protocol before application. Gently place the packing strip into the wound cavity, ensuring it is not tightly packed to allow for drainage. Cut the strip to the required length and secure with an appropriate secondary dressing. Change packing strips at intervals recommended by a healthcare professional or when saturated. Do not reuse or resterilize.

Dukal iodoform strips are manufactured under strict quality controls and meet medical device standards for sterile wound care products. They are designed in compliance with applicable healthcare regulations to ensure safety, sterility, and effectiveness.

Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to non-medicated cotton packing strips, Dukal 272 provides the additional benefit of iodoform infusion for antiseptic action, reducing bacterial growth and potential infection. The convenient bottle packaging allows easy dispensing and helps maintain sterility between uses. Its combination of absorbency, conformability, and antimicrobial properties makes it a preferred choice over plain cotton strips for managing complex wounds.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
