Smith+Nephew BACTIGRAS 10x10cm (50)

Description

Bactigras is a sterile, low-adherence antiseptic dressing made of soft paraffin gauze impregnated with chlorhexidine acetate to protect wounds and reduce infection. It soothes and protects minor burns, lacerations, abrasions, and graft sites, while allowing wound drainage into a secondary absorbent dressing to support healing and minimize discomfort.

Description and function

• Antiseptic: Contains 0.5% w/w chlorhexidine acetate to help prevent and treat wound infection.
• Low adherence: The soft paraffin base makes it non-stick, so it can be removed with minimal trauma and pain during dressing changes.
• Protective: Soothes and protects the wound, creating a barrier against infection.
• Allows drainage: Its gauze structure allows wound fluid to drain freely into a secondary, absorbent dressing.
• Flexible: The sterile gauze can be cut to size to fit different wounds without fraying.

Uses

• Minor burns
• Lacerations and abrasions
• Graft sites
