Low-Adherent Paraffin Gauze For Wound Protection
Jelonet from Smith+Nephew is a sterile paraffin gauze dressing designed to sit directly against the wound as a low-adherent contact layer. The dressing consists of an open-weave gauze impregnated with soft paraffin, helping to protect the wound while reducing the risk of the dressing adhering to the wound surface.
The open construction allows wound fluid to pass through the Jelonet into a secondary absorbent dressing placed over the top. This makes Jelonet quite different from absorbent dressings such as Melolin and Mepore.
Smith+Nephew recommends Jelonet for a range of wounds including burns, graft sites, skin-loss wounds and chronic wounds such as leg ulcers and pressure sores.
Key Benefits
- Low-adherent: The soft paraffin helps prevent the dressing from sticking directly to the wound.
- Open-weave construction: Allows wound fluid to pass through into a secondary absorbent dressing.
- Soothing protection: Provides a protective wound-contact layer while helping to minimise disturbance during dressing changes.
- Maintains its shape: Interlocking threads help minimise fraying when the dressing is cut.
- Versatile: Suitable for a variety of wound-care applications where a low-adherent contact layer is required.
- Sterile: Each 10cm x 10cm dressing is individually wrapped for hygienic application.
What Can Jelonet Be Used For?
Jelonet is designed for use as a low-adherent wound-contact dressing. Applications identified by Smith+Nephew include:
- Burns
- Graft sites
- Skin-loss wounds
- Leg ulcers
- Pressure sores
Jelonet is a wound-contact layer rather than an absorbent pad. Where wound fluid is present, an appropriate secondary absorbent dressing should normally be applied over the Jelonet.
How To Use Jelonet
- Clean the wound according to appropriate wound-care practice.
- Open the sterile Jelonet package.
- Apply the paraffin gauze directly over the wound.
- If necessary, cut the dressing to the required shape using an appropriate clean technique.
- Cover Jelonet with a suitable secondary absorbent dressing where required.
- Secure the dressing using an appropriate fixation method.
Seek professional medical advice for serious burns, chronic wounds, infected wounds or whenever you are unsure how a wound should be treated.
Jelonet Or Melolin: Which Should I Choose?
Jelonet and Melolin are both designed to help reduce adherence to the wound, but they perform different jobs.
Jelonet is a paraffin-impregnated open-weave gauze that sits directly against the wound. It is not designed to absorb significant amounts of wound fluid, so a secondary absorbent dressing may be required.
Melolin 5cm x 5cm and Melolin 10cm x 10cm contain an absorbent pad as part of the dressing itself.
Choose Jelonet when a paraffin gauze wound-contact layer is required. Choose Melolin when you want a low-adherent dressing that also provides absorption.
What Should I Put Over Jelonet?
Because Jelonet is an open-weave wound-contact dressing rather than an absorbent pad, it can be covered with an appropriate secondary absorbent dressing.
Melolin 10cm x 10cm provides an absorbent dressing option. Depending on the application, the dressing can then be secured using an appropriate fixation product.
Zoom Health also stocks 3M Micropore Surgical Tape for gentle fixation and Hypafix Self-Adhesive Fixation Tape where broader fixation is required.
Can Jelonet Be Cut To Size?
Yes. Jelonet uses an open-weave gauze with interlocking threads designed to help minimise fraying when the dressing is cut to the required shape.
