Description

BACTIGRAS◊ is a medicated paraffin gauze dressing


Features

  • Soft paraffin base
  • Sterile leno weave presentation
  • Contains Chlorhexidine acetate 0.5% w/w

  • Benefits

    Soothes and protects the wound and allows free passage of viscous exudate 

    • BACTIGRAS◊ is soothing and low-adherent and allows the wound to drain freely into an absorbent secondary dressing.

    Maintains shape, resists fraying 

    • BACTIGRAS◊ is a sterile medicated paraffin tulle gras dressing made from open weave gauze.  The gauze has interlocking threads which minimise fraying when the dressing is cut to shape.

    Reduces risk of infection

    • BACTIGRAS◊ antiseptic efficacy is unaffected by serum and blood.
    • Demonstrated to be effective in-vitro and in-vivo against MRSA 
    • Reduces the risk of colonisation. 
    • Proven antiseptically active against a wide range of Gram positive and negative organisms.

    Indications

    BACTIGRAS◊ is intended for use as a wound contact layer where the wound is no more than 10% of the body area where there is a risk of infection, or on already infected wounds in conjunction with systemic antibiotics.

  • Minor burns and scalds 
  • Lacerations, abrasions and other skin loss wounds 
  • Donor and recipient graft sites 
  • Leg ulcers

  • Contraindications / Precautions

    BACTIGRAS◊ should not be used on more than 10% of the body area.
    Dermatitis, contact sensitivity or photosensitivity may rarely occur. Anaphylactic reaction to chlorhexidine has been reported, but is rare.
    Avoid contact with eyes, the middle ear, meninges and brain.
    BACTIGRAS◊ is incompatible with soaps, other anionic materials, as well as potassium iodide.
    The use of Bactigras with oxidising wound cleaning agents should be avoided.
