How to use the HypaCover Paraffin Gauze Dressing
1) Clean the wound
Gently cleanse the affected area using a suitable antiseptic or sterile saline solution to remove any debris or bacteria.
2) Open the dressing
Carefully remove the HypaCover Paraffin Gauze from its sterile packaging.
3) Apply the dressing
Place the paraffin-impregnated gauze directly over the wound, ensuring full coverage without stretching or pressing.
4) Secure with a secondary dressing
Use a suitable secondary dressing or bandage to hold the paraffin gauze in place and to absorb any wound exudate.
5) Change regularly and monitor
Replace the dressing every 24-48 hours, or as advised by a healthcare professional. Always monitor the wound for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge.
What is petrolatum?
Petrolatum, also known as petroleum jelly, is a semi-solid, oily substance derived from refined petroleum. It acts as a moisture barrier, helping to protect the skin and promote healing by sealing in hydration. In medical dressings, like paraffin gauze, petrolatum prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound, reducing pain and tissue damage during removal.
