10 cm x 10 cm sterile single gauze, pack of 10.
FUCITULLE may be used in the treatment of wound infections caused by sensitive strains of S. aureus, Streptococcus spp and Corynebacterium minutissimum, including minor traumatic injuries, ulcers, burns, and other lesions that are clinically infected by organisms shown to be sensitive to fusidic acid and it salts.
The dressing should not be used in the treatment of wounds that are free of clinical infection, or for the treatment of infections caused by non-susceptible organisms, in particular, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. FUCITULLE is also contra-indicated in patients who are hypersensitive to fusidic acid and its salts.
The wound should be cleansed with a suitable sterile solution, such as normal saline; a single layer of FUCITULLE should then be applied and covered with an absorbent pad, held in place with tape or a bandage, as appropriate.
