Description
Jelonet consists of a leno-weave fabric, of cotton or cotton and viscose, which has been impregnated with white soft paraffin (yellow soft paraffin in the case of the bulk preparations). The dressing is used as a primary wound contact layer and the paraffin is present to reduce the adherence of the product to the surface of a granulating wound.
Indications
Jelonet is used as a primary wound contact layer in the treatment of burns, ulcers, skin grafts (both donor and receptor sites), and a variety of traumatic injuries. The material is also used as a transfer medium for skin during grafting.
Contra-indications
Although there are no absolute contra-indications to the use of Jelonet, if the dressing is placed upon a heavily exuding wound, its semi-occlusive nature may cause tissue maceration by preventing the free movement of exudate away from the surface of the wound.
Method of use
Jelonet is applied directly to the surface of the wound and covered with an absorbent pad held in place with tape or a bandage, as appropriate.
Frequency of Change
The frequency of dressing changes will depend entirely upon the nature of the wound. If Jelonet is left in position for prolonged periods of time, it can become adherent and cause tissue damage upon removal.
Presentation
Jelonet is available in two forms: individually wrapped in an aluminium peel pouch, sterilised by irradiation; or packed in bulk in a tin, also sterilised by irradiation.
