Description
Gauze Iodoform Packing Strip provides antimicrobial wound packing for deep wounds, cavities, and surgical sites requiring extended healing support. This sterile 1/2" x 5-yard strip is impregnated with iodoform, a time-tested antiseptic agent that provides continuous antimicrobial protection while promoting healthy granulation tissue formation. The narrow width allows precise placement in wound cavities, tunnels, and undermined areas where standard dressings cannot reach effectively. Medical professionals rely on iodoform packing for its dual action of mechanical support and chemical antisepsis. The gauze construction allows for gradual absorption of wound exudate while maintaining structural integrity for easy removal. Each strip is individually packaged to ensure sterility and optimal therapeutic effectiveness. Particularly valuable for post-surgical wound care, chronic wound management, and situations where infection prevention is critical. The yellow coloration from iodoform helps healthcare providers monitor placement and ensure complete removal during dressing changes.
Suggested Use
Use only under medical supervision or as directed by healthcare provider. Insert gently into wound cavity using sterile forceps or probe, allowing slight protrusion for easy removal. Pack loosely to avoid excessive pressure on healing tissues. Change every 24-72 hours or as directed. Remove completely before inserting new packing strip.
