Description

SUFRE TULLE
Overview:
Sofra-Tulle is a medicated gauze dressing impregnated with framycetin sulfate, an antibiotic that is used in the treatment of infected burns, wounds, ulcers, and skin grafts. The dressing not only prevents infection but also provides a moist healing environment, which aids in the recovery process. This combination of antimicrobial action and moisture retention helps speed up the healing process and reduces the chance of further infection.
Uses and Benefits:
Infected Burns and Wounds: Sofra-Tulle is particularly effective for treating infected burns and wounds. The framycetin sulfate works by killing a wide range of bacteria, preventing infections from worsening.
Ulcers and Skin Grafts: It promotes healing in areas where skin grafts have been applied, as well as in ulcers. The moist environment it creates speeds up the healing process.
Antimicrobial Action: The antibiotic action of framycetin helps fight off bacterial infections, which is essential for effective wound management.
Dosage and Administration:
Sofra-Tulle should be applied directly to the affected area after cleaning the wound.
The dressing should be changed as per your healthcare provider’s instructions, typically once a day, or more frequently if it becomes soiled or saturated with exudate.
Always follow the healthcare provider’s guidance regarding how to apply and remove the dressing.
Side Effects:
Mild Skin Irritation: Some patients may experience mild irritation or redness at the site of application.
Allergic Reactions: Although rare, an allergic reaction to framycetin sulfate may occur. If you notice signs such as swelling, rash, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.
Precautions:
Known Allergies: Inform your doctor if you have any allergies, particularly to antibiotics like neomycin, as these may cross-react with framycetin sulfate.
Avoid Deeper Wounds: Sofra-Tulle is intended for use on superficial wounds. For deep wounds, a healthcare provider should provide additional guidance.
Monitor for Infection: Keep a close watch on the wound for any signs of infection (redness, increased pain, swelling) and contact your doctor if these occur.
