The Jelonet Paraffin Gauze Dressing is a soothing, low-adherent wound cover designed to protect the site while allowing drainage to pass into an absorbent secondary dressing. It is ideal for minor injuries and areas that benefit from a gentle, non-medicated contact layer. The dressing is sterile and made from open weave gauze with interlocking threads to minimise fraying when cut to shape.
Key attributes of this product include its non-medicated composition, which makes it compatible with the topical antiseptic or antibiotic of choice. Measuring 10 cm x 10 cm, it provides reliable coverage for small wounds and graft sites, donor or recipient sites, and leg ulcers under proper medical guidance. Our selection focuses on comfort and protection, enabling wound drainage while keeping the wound free to interact with the secondary dressing.
Benefits and features
- Low-adherent surface reduces friction on the wound during dressing changes, helping minimize disruption to the healing tissue.
- Paraffin tulle gras fabric provides a protective, sterile barrier while allowing drainage to flow into an absorbent secondary dressing.
- Interlocking weave resists fraying when cut to fit irregular wound shapes, ensuring a neat edge and easy sizing.
- Non-medicated formulation allows you to pair with the topical antiseptic or antibiotic of choice without interference.
- Versatile indications cover minor burns and scalds, graft site care, skin loss wounds, lacerations, abrasions, and leg ulcers (under medical advice).
Ingredients and why they matter
- Paraffin gauze: The open weave, sterile dressing works as a non-stick layer that protects the wound while letting exudate pass to a secondary dressing, reducing the risk of sticking to the wound bed.
- Paraffin-impregnated gauze: Provides a lubricated surface that helps maintain a moist wound environment without medicated additives, supporting comfort during healing.
Usage overview and safety tips
- Change dressing daily or more often according to the condition of the wound.
- For leg ulcers, only use under medical advice.
- Seek medical advice immediately for all serious wounds and burns, or if redness or discomfort occurs.
Stored in clean conditions and used as directed, this dressing helps keep the wound interface clean while enabling proper drainage into a secondary dressing, which supports a protective healing environment.
