Jelonet is used as a primary wound contact layer in the treatment of burns, ulcers, skin grafts (both donor and receptor sites), and a variety of traumatic injuries. The material is also used as a transfer medium for skin during grafting. Jelonet consists of a leno-weave fabric, of cotton or cotton and viscose, which has been impregnated with white soft paraffin (yellow soft paraffin in the case of the bulk preparations). The dressing is used as a primary wound contact layer and the paraffin is present to reduce the adherence of the product to the surface of a granulating wound. Jelonet is applied directly to the surface of the wound and covered with an absorbent pad held in place with tape or a bandage, as appropriate.
