Are Plain or Iodoform strips available?
Yes, the Gentell Pak-Its Gauze Packing Strips are supplied in two specialized, sterile formulations to suit different wound management requirements:
- Plain Gauze Packing Strips: This versatile option is primarily used for the mechanical absorption of drainage from exudating wounds. They can be used dry, or they can be saturated with a prescribed medication for targeted topical treatment.
- Iodoform Gauze Packing Strips: These strips are impregnated with Iodoform, providing crucial antiseptic properties. This variant is suitable when localized antimicrobial action is necessary in the wound bed.
Both formulations are latex-free and available in 5-yard bottles across four widths: 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch, 1 inch, and 2 inches.
Can these packing strips be saturated with medication?
Yes, the Gentell Pak-Its Gauze Packing Strips are specifically designed for versatile use in wound care.
They offer dual functionality, allowing them to be customized for different treatment protocols:
- Saturated: The strips can be soaked with a patient-specific medication or antiseptic solution for targeted therapeutic application within the wound bed.
- Dry: Alternatively, they can be used dry to absorb drainage and effectively manage exudate from wounds.
These strips are available in both Plain gauze and Iodoform formulations. They are supplied sterile and are confirmed to be latex-free.
Note: A secondary dressing is required to hold the strips securely in place and protect the wound site.
Is a secondary dressing required?
Yes, a secondary dressing is required when using Gentell Pak-Its Gauze Packing Strips. This is essential for two key purposes:
- To secure the packing strips firmly in place within the wound.
- To provide necessary protection against external contaminants and germs.
How should Plain and Iodoform strips be used?
Gentell Pak-Its are supplied in two sterile, latex-free formulations, each designed for specific wound management applications:
- Plain Gauze Strips: These are highly versatile and non-medicated. They can be used dry for effective absorption of wound drainage (exudate) or saturated with a caregiver’s topical medication of choice before packing.
- Iodoform Strips: These strips are pre-treated with Iodoform, which delivers a mild, sustained antiseptic action within the wound cavity. They are ideal for wounds that require an added level of antimicrobial protection.
Note: Regardless of the type chosen, a secondary dressing is always required to secure the strips in place and shield the wound site from external contamination.

Are these packing strips versatile for wound treatment?
Yes, Gentell Pak-Its Gauze Packing Strips are sterile, latex-free medical dressings designed specifically for effective internal wound packing and management.
They are highly versatile and can be used in two primary ways for treating exudating wounds:
- Absorption: Use the strips dry to absorb moderate to heavy wound drainage.
