BACTIGRAS

• 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

1. Wash hands before and after treating wound. Gently clean wound and surrounding skin. Dry surrounding skin thoroughly.

2. Peel open foil sachet. Cut dressing to size.

3. Remove protective paper to reveal BACTIGRAS◊ gauze.

4. Place BACTIGRAS onto the wound.

5. Place second dressing(e.g. MELOLIN pad) over BACTIGRAS for added protection and absorption. Keep MELOLIN◊ and BACTIGRAS◊ in place with either paper tape or a light crepe bandage.

When to Change

BACTIGRAS may be left in place when the MELOLIN dressing is changed. Change dressing daily or more often according to the condition of the wound. If the dressing sticks, soak it off gently with sterile saline solution.

Bactigras is intended for use as a wound contact layer for wounds such as:

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

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.
