Jelonet is a paraffin-impregnated gauze dressing that prevents adhesion to raw and granulating wound surfaces. The paraffin coating creates a non-stick interface between the wound and the outer dressing, enabling pain-free dressing changes without disturbing new tissue growth. Used in hospitals, primary care, and workplace first aid for burns, abrasions, skin grafts, and any wound where conventional dressings would adhere to the surface.
Compliance Summary: Jelonet is a medical device used in clinical wound management. The non-adherent paraffin interface is suited to burns, abrasions, and granulating wounds where conventional dressings would cause pain and tissue damage during removal.
When should I use Jelonet instead of a standard dressing?
Use Jelonet as a primary contact layer on raw wounds, burns, abrasions, and any wound surface where a standard dressing would stick and cause pain during removal. Place the Jelonet directly on the wound, then apply a standard secondary dressing on top to absorb exudate and protect the site.
Can Jelonet be used on burns?
Yes. Jelonet is widely used as a primary burn dressing contact layer. The paraffin gauze prevents the outer dressing from adhering to the burn surface, enabling pain-free dressing changes during the healing process. For initial burn cooling, use cold water or burn gel first, then apply Jelonet before the secondary dressing.
