JELONET Paraffin Gauze Dressing - 5cm x 5cm

JELONET is used as a primary wound contact dressing for delicate wounds where gentle coverage is important. Typical uses include minor burns and scalds, skin loss wounds, lacerations, abrasions, graft sites and some ulcer care plans where a paraffin gauze layer is appropriate.

Its main role is to protect the wound surface while allowing exudate to move into a secondary absorbent dressing. That makes it a practical choice when wound contact needs to be low-adherent rather than dry and sticking.

It is designed to be low-adherent rather than fully adhesive or absorbent. The paraffin coating helps reduce sticking to the wound bed, which can make dressing changes less traumatic for sensitive tissue.

That said, dressing performance can vary with wound type, exudate level and change frequency. Using the correct secondary dressing and changing the wound dressing according to protocol are important for best results.

Yes. JELONET is intended to be used with a suitable absorbent secondary dressing because its open-weave structure allows fluid to pass through rather than hold exudate on its own.

This layered approach helps protect the wound surface while also managing wound fluid more effectively. Choosing the right secondary dressing depends on the wound and the level of exudate present.

Yes, it can be cut to size when needed. The interlocking thread construction helps reduce fraying, which makes it easier to shape the dressing neatly for smaller or more awkward wound areas.

When trimming the dressing, sterile scissors and appropriate aseptic technique should be used. This helps maintain dressing cleanliness and supports safer wound care practice.

No, this dressing is non-medicated. That means it does not contain an active antiseptic or antibiotic ingredient within the dressing itself.

This can be useful when the wound care plan requires a specific topical treatment selected by the clinician. It gives more flexibility than a dressing with a fixed medicated formulation.

Change frequency depends on the wound, the amount of exudate and the wider treatment plan. The dressing should be replaced according to clinical assessment, local protocol or when strike-through and dressing saturation indicate a change is needed.

There is no single schedule that suits every wound. If there is uncertainty, a wound care professional should advise on the right dressing interval.

It may be used at home when a clinician has advised that it is suitable and the user or carer understands how to apply it correctly. This is especially relevant when the wound is straightforward and the care plan is already established.

However, more serious, infected or slow-healing wounds should not be self-managed without professional input. Good hygiene, correct dressing selection and timely review remain important.

Yes. The dressing should not be used by anyone with known sensitivity to paraffin or the dressing materials, and it is for single use only.

Because paraffin is flammable, the product should be kept away from ignition sources. Where wounds are infected, deteriorating or clinically complex, medical supervision is important.
