Usage/Application

Ideal for minor burns, abrasions, lacerations, skin loss wounds, graft sites, donor sites, and other suitable wounds requiring a low-adherent paraffin gauze dressing as directed by a healthcare professional. Suitable for hospitals, clinics, long-term care, assisted living, and caregiver-supported wound care. Use the dressing as directed by a healthcare professional as a primary wound contact layer, applying the soft paraffin gauze directly over the wound so it reduces sticking to the wound bed, and covering it with an appropriate secondary absorbent dressing to manage drainage. It is a non-medicated contact layer suited to minor burns, abrasions, grafts, or donor sites, so for burns or wounds beyond minor, or for deep, infected, heavily draining, or non-healing wounds, seek professional assessment. Change the dressing according to the wound-care plan, monitor the wound for signs of infection, and follow the care team's guidance.
