•
Sterilized by gamma irradiation
•
Pharmatull made of apertured leno cotton gauze that allows wound exudates to pass
through.
Benefits
•
Dermatull and Dermatull Plus™ are Impregnated with paraffin jelly which form a separate
layer between wound and gauze preventing sticking with the wound and provide fast
recovery.
•
Protects newly formed tissue and minimize patient pain during changing the dressing.
•
The leno-weave gauze allows the passage of the exudates to be absorbed by the secondary
dressing, so the exudates do not dry on the wound bed.
•
Can be cut to different sizes.

grafts and a variety of traumatic injuries. The material is also used as a transfer medium for

dressing is placed upon a heavily exuding wound its semi-occlusive nature may cause tissue
maceration by preventing the free movement of exudates away from the surface of the
wound.
•

cause tissue damage upon removal.
