212 - Dukal® Sterile XEROFORM® Petrolatum Non-Adhering Dressings, 1" x 8", 1/pk, 50 pk/bx

Sterile XEROFORM® Petrolatum Non-Adhering Dressings, 1" x 8"

Please note: All prices are for cases. 

The Dukal® Sterile XEROFORM® Petrolatum Non-Adhering Dressing (SKU 212) is a specialized medicinal strip designed for the management of narrow or tunneling wounds. This 1-inch by 8-inch (2.5 cm x 20.3 cm) dressing consists of a fine-mesh gauze thoroughly impregnated with a blend of 3% Bismuth Tribromophenate and USP-grade petrolatum. The unique "strip" dimensions of the 212 SKU make it an essential tool for clinicians who need to pack narrow wound cavities, wrap digits, or cover small linear incisions without the bulk of a square or rectangular dressing. This non-toxic, non-irritating primary layer ensures a moist healing environment while preventing secondary dressings from adhering to the wound bed.

Key Features

• Specialized 1" x 8" Strip Format: Specifically engineered for use in narrow anatomical areas and for the packing of small wound tracts, providing a precise fit that reduces the need for manual trimming.
• Bacteriostatic and Deodorizing Properties: Infused with 3% Bismuth Tribromophenate, which provides a mild bacteriostatic effect to inhibit bacterial growth and serves as a highly effective deodorizing agent for managing wound-related odors.
• Non-Adherent Lubricated Barrier: The petrolatum-saturated gauze prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound bed, ensuring atraumatic removal and protecting fragile new epithelial tissue from mechanical damage.
• Fine-Mesh Gauze Construction: The flexible, fine-knit gauze allows the strip to conform easily to small, irregular surfaces and ensures consistent contact with the wound surface for optimal moisture delivery.
• Moist Wound Healing Environment: Effectively seals in essential moisture to promote autolytic debridement and rapid healing while preventing the wound from drying out or forming a hard scab.
• Latex-Free and Hypoallergenic: Manufactured without natural rubber latex, making it safe for patients with sensitive skin or history of adhesive and latex allergies.
• Sterile Foil-Lined Packaging: Each strip is individually sealed in a sterile foil-lined peel-pouch to maintain the saturation of the petrolatum and the efficacy of the medicinal blend.

Ideal Clinical Applications

• Wound Packing and Tunneling: The narrow 1-inch width is ideal for packing deep, narrow wound cavities or managing tunneling wounds where a non-adherent bacteriostatic filler is required.
• Digital Injuries (Fingers and Toes): Perfectly sized for wrapping lacerations, abrasions, or nail bed injuries on fingers and toes, providing a secure and non-bulky protective layer.
• Small Linear Incisions: Used as a primary contact layer for laparoscopic port sites, small plastic surgery incisions, or minor suture lines.
• Dermatological Procedures: Frequently used following mole removals, skin biopsies, or small cancer resections to provide a gentle, non-stick barrier.
• Nasal or Aural Packing: Occasionally utilized in specialized settings for light packing where a non-adherent, bacteriostatic strip is preferred.
• Donor Sites and Small Grafts: Provides a protective, moist interface for small skin graft areas or localized donor sites to support successful tissue integration.
• Low-Exudate Wounds: Best suited for dry or lightly draining wounds where maintaining humidity is critical to the healing process.

Important Safety Information

Contraindications

Do not use this product on patients with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to Bismuth Tribromophenate, petrolatum, or any components of the gauze.

This dressing is not indicated for use on third-degree burns or wounds with heavy necrotic "eschar" that requires aggressive sharp debridement.

Warnings & Precautions

The Dukal® Sterile XEROFORM® dressing is intended for use as a primary contact layer and must be covered by an appropriate secondary absorbent dressing (such as gauze sponges or abdominal pads) to manage wound exudate.

Do not use if the individual sterile packaging is opened or damaged, as the sterility of the product is no longer guaranteed.

Monitor the wound site for signs of localized irritation or allergic reaction. If redness, swelling, or persistent pain occurs, discontinue use and consult a physician.

While the petrolatum helps maintain a moist environment, clinicians should assess the wound regularly to ensure the site does not become overly macerated, especially in high-exudate wounds.

Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the consistency of the petrolatum impregnation. Excessive heat may cause the petrolatum to migrate within the packaging or degrade the mesh integrity.
