What is Jelonet Dressing?
Jelonet dressing is an unmedicated soft paraffin gauze dressing, which is designed from open weave gauze that reduces fraying when cut to a desired shape. It is low-adherent, latex-free, and soothing dressing that lets the wound exudate freely drain into an absorbent secondary dressing.
