Derma-Tulle Sterile Medical Soft Paraffine Impregnated Gauze 10*20 cm 50 pieces

Derma-Tulle Sterile Medical Soft Paraffine Impregnated Gauze 10*20 cm 50 pieces

Description:

Derma-Tulle Sterile Medical Soft Paraffine Impregnated Gauze 10*20 cm 50 pieces is a sterile wound dressing designed to create an optimal moist environment for wound healing. Each gauze dressing is impregnated with soft paraffin to prevent adherence to the wound bed, minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes. This product is classified as a medical device and is suitable for use in hospitals, clinics, and home wound care. It is particularly useful for superficial and partial-thickness wounds, burns, abrasions, and post-surgical incisions where gentle, non-adherent coverage is required.

Indications:

• Protection and coverage of minor cuts, lacerations, and abrasions.
• Management of superficial and partial-thickness burns.
• Dressing for post-surgical wounds and sutured incisions to reduce adherence and trauma on removal.
• Protection of skin graft donor and recipient sites as advised by a healthcare professional.
• Supportive dressing for chronic wounds (such as leg ulcers or pressure sores) as part of a comprehensive wound care plan.
• Suitable for sensitive or fragile skin where non-adherent dressings are required.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Soft paraffin – concentration not specified by the manufacturer (forms a non-adherent, occlusive layer to maintain a moist wound environment).
• Sterile woven gauze substrate – size 10 x 20 cm per piece (provides structure and support for the paraffin and wound coverage).
• Active ingredient concentrations and any additional excipients are not specified by the manufacturer and are therefore unknown.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Ensure hands are thoroughly washed and dried, or use sterile gloves before handling the dressing.
• Clean the wound gently using sterile saline or a suitable wound cleansing solution as directed by a healthcare professional. Pat the surrounding skin dry.
• Open the sterile pack carefully and remove one Derma-Tulle soft paraffine impregnated gauze using aseptic technique.
• Apply the gauze directly over the wound surface, ensuring it fully covers the wound area. Multiple pieces may be overlapped if the wound is larger than 10 x 20 cm.
• If needed, place an absorbent secondary dressing (such as sterile gauze pads) on top to manage exudate.
• Secure the dressing with a bandage, adhesive tape, or fixation wrap without applying excessive pressure.
• Change the dressing as recommended by your healthcare provider, typically once daily or whenever the secondary dressing becomes saturated or contaminated.
• During dressing changes, gently lift off the paraffin gauze. If adherence occurs, moisten with sterile saline to ease removal and reduce trauma.
• For best results, always follow the advice of a doctor or wound care nurse regarding frequency of dressing changes and duration of use.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides a non-adherent wound contact layer that minimizes pain and tissue damage during dressing changes.
• Helps maintain a moist wound environment, which supports natural healing processes and may promote faster epithelialization.
• Reduces the risk of the dressing sticking to delicate granulation tissue, protecting new tissue formation.
• Offers a sterile barrier that helps protect the wound from external contamination when used with an appropriate secondary dressing.
• Soft and flexible material enhances patient comfort, especially on sensitive or mobile areas of the body.
• Convenient 10 x 20 cm size and pack of 50 pieces make it suitable for frequent dressing changes and clinical or home use.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• For external use on skin and wounds only. Do not apply inside body cavities or on mucous membranes (eyes, mouth, nose, genital area) unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.
• Do not use on heavily infected wounds without medical supervision. Signs of infection may include increased redness, swelling, warmth, pain, or foul-smelling discharge.
• Discontinue use and consult a doctor if the wound worsens, does not improve, or if excessive irritation or allergic reaction occurs.
• Use with caution in individuals known to be sensitive or allergic to paraffin or petroleum-based products.
• Do not reuse. This is a single-use sterile product; reuse may lead to infection or reduced performance.
• Do not use if the sterile pack is damaged, opened, or past its expiry date.
• Keep away from open flames and ignition sources, as paraffin-impregnated dressings are flammable.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have complex chronic wounds, diabetes, poor circulation, or are on immunosuppressive therapy.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or nursing and the wound is extensive or associated with systemic illness.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Possible local skin reactions such as redness, itching, burning sensation, or irritation, especially in individuals sensitive to paraffin or dressing materials.
• Rarely, contact dermatitis or allergic reactions may occur; if severe redness, swelling, blistering, or rash develops, stop use and seek medical advice.
• If signs of wound infection appear (increased pain, pus, bad odor, fever, spreading redness), seek immediate medical attention.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat or open flame. Keep the outer packaging intact until use to maintain sterility. Do not expose to excessive moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
