Product Overview
Sterile, non-medicated paraffin gauze dressing (tulle gras) that soothes and protects while allowing wound fluid to drain into a secondary dressing. Ideal as a primary contact layer for minor burns, graft sites and abrasions.
Description
Jelonet Paraffin Gauze Dressings (10cm x 10cm, pack of 10) are sterile, non-medicated paraffin tulle gras dressings made from open-weave gauze coated with soft paraffin. They are designed to soothe and protect the wound while acting as a primary wound contact layer placed between the wound and a secondary dressing.
The open-weave structure helps wound fluid (exudate) drain freely into an absorbent secondary dressing (for example, an absorbent pad), helping maintain a suitable environment for healing while reducing the risk of the dressing sticking to the wound surface.
Suitable for (as part of appropriate wound care):
- Minor burns and scalds
- Donor and recipient skin graft sites
- Skin loss wounds, lacerations and abrasions
- Chronic wounds such as leg ulcers or pressure ulcers (where clinically appropriate)
Key features
- Low-adherent paraffin gauze contact layer for comfort
- Open weave supports drainage into a secondary dressing
- Can be cut to shape (handle with clean technique)
- Sterile, individually packaged; single use
How to Use
For external use only. Use with a suitable secondary dressing.
- Cleanse the wound according to local clinical guidance (clean water/saline as appropriate).
- Select the correct size and open the sterile pouch. Do not use if the pouch is damaged.
- Using clean hands (ideally gloves) and, if needed, forceps, remove any protector papers and place Jelonet in a single layer directly onto the wound surface.
- Apply an absorbent secondary dressing over the top and secure with bandage/tape as appropriate.
- Dressing changes: Jelonet may be left in place while it remains moist; change frequency depends on the wound and exudate. Remove if it starts to dry out.
- If it sticks: soak off gently with sterile saline. Ensure all dressing material is removed from the wound.
Seek medical advice urgently for serious burns, deep/large wounds, infected wounds, or if symptoms worsen (spreading redness, increasing pain, swelling, pus, fever).
