JELONET 10'S

How JELONET 10'S Works

• JELONET 10'S is a sterile paraffin gauze dressing designed to soothe and protect the wound while allowing it to heal. Its primary function is to prevent the dressing from sticking to the wound bed, minimizing trauma and pain during dressing changes. This is crucial for promoting undisturbed healing and reducing the risk of further damage to delicate new tissue.
• The paraffin in JELONET acts as a barrier, preventing the absorption of exudate (wound fluid) into the dressing. This maintains a moist wound environment, which is known to be optimal for wound healing. A moist environment encourages the migration of epithelial cells, which are essential for closing the wound. It also supports the activity of enzymes that break down dead tissue (debridement) and reduces the risk of scarring.
• The gauze component of JELONET provides a framework for the paraffin and allows for exudate to pass through and be absorbed by a secondary dressing. This helps to manage the moisture level at the wound site, preventing maceration (softening and breakdown of the skin due to excessive moisture). The gauze also conforms to the shape of the wound, ensuring that the entire wound bed is in contact with the paraffin.
• In summary, JELONET 10'S works by providing a non-adherent, soothing, and protective layer over the wound. It maintains a moist wound environment, facilitates exudate management, and minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes. This combination of features promotes optimal wound healing and reduces the risk of complications.

As JELONET 10'S primarily consists of paraffin and is used topically, systemic side effects are rare. However, local reactions may occur. These can include: * **Allergic reactions:** Skin rash, itching, redness, or swelling at the application site. * **Irritation:** Burning, stinging, or discomfort at the application site. * **Maceration:** Prolonged use, especially under occlusive dressings, can soften the skin and make it more susceptible to infection. * **Secondary Infections:** While JELONET itself is sterile, improper use or application to already infected wounds can worsen or spread infection. * **Adverse Reactions:** Hypersensitivity.

• If you miss a dose of JELONET 10'S, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next application, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for the missed one.

• Keep JELONET 1X10 away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store JELONET 1X10 at room temperature.

• **Keep it Clean:** Before applying JELONET, gently cleanse the affected area with mild soap and water or a saline solution to remove any debris or bacteria. This helps prevent infection and promotes faster healing. Pat the area dry carefully before application.
• **Proper Application:** Cut JELONET to the size and shape of the wound. Remove the protective paper from one side and apply it directly to the wound. Ensure the entire wound surface is covered. JELONET is designed to conform to the wound, providing a soothing and protective barrier.
• **Secure with a Secondary Dressing:** JELONET itself is not an absorbent dressing. It needs to be covered with a secondary dressing such as gauze or a bandage to absorb any excess exudate (fluid) from the wound. This also helps to keep JELONET in place.
• **Change Regularly:** Change JELONET and the secondary dressing as directed by your healthcare provider, or when the secondary dressing becomes saturated. This is typically every 1 to 3 days, depending on the wound type and amount of drainage. Frequent changes help maintain a clean wound environment.
• **Monitor for Infection:** Watch for signs of infection such as increased pain, redness, swelling, pus, or a foul odor. If you notice any of these signs, consult your doctor immediately. Early detection and treatment of infection are crucial for preventing complications and ensuring effective healing.

• JELONET 10'S is a topical medication and is unlikely to interact with food.
• You can continue your normal diet while using JELONET 10'S unless otherwise advised by your doctor.
