Jelonet Paraffin Gauze Dressing 10cm x 10cm 5s

Jelonet Paraffin Gauze Dressing works by creating a non-adherent barrier between the wound and external contaminants. The paraffin coating ensures that the gauze does not stick to the wound, allowing for easy removal and minimizing discomfort during dressing changes. This helps to protect the wound while allowing fluids to pass through to a secondary dressing.

• Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the dressing.
• Gently clean the wound and the surrounding skin with a suitable antiseptic solution.
• Remove the dressing from its packaging, taking care to maintain its sterility.
• Place the paraffin gauze directly over the wound, ensuring it covers the entire area.
• Secure the dressing with a suitable secondary dressing or bandage.
• Change the dressing as directed by a healthcare professional or when it becomes saturated.

• Do not use if the packaging is damaged or opened.
• Avoid using on deep or heavily bleeding wounds without medical advice.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Consult a healthcare professional if you notice signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or pus.
• Ensure hands are clean before and after dressing the wound to prevent contamination.

• Provides a soothing effect on the wound, reducing discomfort.
• Prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound, minimizing pain during removal.
