Key Benefits
This gauze is designed to deliver gentle yet reliable support, holding dressings in place without adhesive. Its stretchable, open-weave design promotes air circulation and reduces moisture buildup, supporting the natural healing process.

Conveniently packaged 1 per pouch, 12 pouches per box, and 8 boxes per case for efficient inventory management.
Compatibility and Applications
Dukal Conforming Stretch Gauze is suitable for use in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and home healthcare settings. It is compatible with a variety of primary dressings, including non-adherent pads, wound foams, and absorbent gauze sponges. Ideal for securing post-operative dressings, treating light wounds, and supporting compression applications for sprains and minor injuries.
Usage Guidelines
Clean and dry the affected area and apply the primary dressing as directed. Wrap the conforming gauze gently around the site, overlapping each layer by approximately half its width. Secure the end with medical tape or clips. Avoid excessive tension to maintain proper blood circulation. Dispose of after single use according to healthcare facility protocols.
