Description
BACTIGRAS Dressings by Smith & Nephew are expertly designed to provide effective wound care with minimal discomfort. These dressings are crafted from an open-weave cotton gauze, impregnated with soft paraffin and 0.5% chlorhexidine acetate, offering both protection and antiseptic properties.
Key Features
- Non-Adherent Design: The soft paraffin base ensures that the dressing does not stick to the wound, reducing pain and tissue damage during changes.
- Antiseptic Properties: The chlorhexidine acetate is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, including MRSA, helping to reduce infection risks.
- Breathable Structure: The open-weave gauze allows wound exudate to drain into a secondary absorbent dressing, maintaining a moist environment conducive to healing.
Benefits
