Advantages of BACTIGRAS Dressing

• Chlorhexidine is a well-established antiseptic agent effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms, including MRSA.

• Does not stick to the wound, even in case of abrasions.

• Made of an open-weave fabric that allows viscous exudate to pass through to the secondary dressing, and can be removed in one piece from the wound.

• Can remain on the wound for up to four days.

Indications

• For local application on wounds at risk of infection or on infected wounds (in the latter case, used alongside systemic antibacterial treatment).

• Suitable for coverage of minor burns and scalds, torn wounds, abrasions, other skin loss injuries, as well as donor and recipient graft sites.
