Jelonet 5x5cm dressings are designed to cover minor wound areas easily. Provide a gentle and comfortable dressing while the body recovers
The Jelonet 5 x 5 dressing is an excellent choice for treating injuries that typically heal through the process of secondary intention, such as thermal burns, scalds, abrasions, ulcers, lacerations and donor or recipient sites of skin grafts. It is also highly suitable for the purpose of treating cracked nipples.
Jelonet is an ideal primary dressing layer for treating burns. This dressing helps promote the body's natural healing process by keeping the wound bed moist, thanks to its wicking properties, enabling exudate to pass through freely without drying out the wound.
Not only does Jelonet help with the drainage of fluids but it is also semi-occlusive, meaning it helps create an environment that supports healing. Moreover, the dressing is lightweight and non-adherent, which means it’s easy to remove and minimises trauma to the wound bed.
16 Benefits of the Jelonet Paraffin Gauze Dressing
How to Use Jelonet 5cm x 5cm Dressings
Before Application
Begin by ensuring the wound is clean and dry. If you're using a topical treatment, apply it before the dressing.
Applying the Dressing
1. Gently place the Jelonet dressing over the wound, ensuring it covers the entire area. Its soft white paraffin impregnation on a leno weave helps to keep the wound moist.
2. As Jelonet is a primary contact layer, ensure you use a secondary dressing to secure it in place and to absorb any excess exudate.
3. The non-adherent nature of Jelonet means it's easy to remove, minimising trauma to the wound. Simply lift an edge and gently peel it away.
4. For optimum wound care, change the Jelonet dressing daily. Its semi-occlusive nature provides protection from contaminants, but it's essential to keep the wound fresh and clean.
Disposal
After removal, safely dispose of the used dressing.
Please note: Jelonet is sterile until the packet is opened. Always handle with clean hands or use sterile gloves of necessary.

When to seek medical assistance
While the Jelonet 5cm x 5cm dressing is expertly designed to promote natural healing for various wounds, there are moments when it's crucial to consult a medical professional:
- Worsening Condition of the Wound: If you observe the wound enlarging, deepening, or causing increased pain, these may be indications of improper healing.
- Signs of Infection: Be vigilant for symptoms like yellowish pus, persistent redness, warmth around the wound, or an unpleasant smell. These are typical signs of an infection.
- High Levels of Exudate: Although Jelonet is effective for light to moderate exudate, consistently high levels could suggest a more serious issue.
- Slow Healing: If a minor wound shows no substantial improvement within a week, or larger wounds are not progressing in healing, it's time to seek medical attention.
- Allergic Reactions or Sensitivities: Should you experience any allergic reactions to the dressing, such as itching or rashes, immediate consultation with a healthcare provider is crucial.
- Unusual Symptoms: Numbness, discolouration (like a bluish hue), or excessive swelling around the wound are serious symptoms that require professional evaluation.
