Instructions for use:
Special dressing used in the treatment of wounds, especially of burns; with cicatrising properties, does not stick to the wounds, allowing exudation or suppuration.
Do not use with local antibiotics, as this may lead to the development of resistant strains.
Individual sterile wrapping is selected (it is preferred to metal boxes since, in the latter, exposure to heat makes the vaseline run to the bottom and, consequently, the topmost compresses are no longer impregnated).
The size has been chosen as being the most commonly used.

Conditions for stock:
Store flat.
Store at room temperature.

Safety process:
The paraffin gauze compress is for single use only.
Collect and destroy by incineration in a controlled environment.
