Bactigras Wound Dressing 5cm x 5cm x 50

Bactigras Wound Dressing 5cm x 5cm is a chlorhexidine-impregnated, low-adherent paraffin tulle dressing manufactured by Smith and Nephew. The 0.5% chlorhexidine acetate provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection at the wound surface, helping to prevent infection in minor wounds while the soft paraffin base ensures painless, non-traumatic dressing changes.

Key Features

• Antimicrobial Protection: Contains 0.5% chlorhexidine acetate for effective antibacterial action directly at the wound surface
• Low-Adherent Paraffin Tulle: White soft paraffin base prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound bed during healing
• Sterile and Individually Wrapped: Each dressing is supplied sterile for immediate clinical use
• Conformable Mesh: Leno-weave cotton gauze conforms to wound contours and allows exudate to pass through to a secondary dressing
• Compact 5cm x 5cm Size: Ideal for small to medium wounds including minor burns, lacerations, and abrasions
• Box of 50: Clinical bulk pack for busy wound care departments and first aid stations

Precautions

Do not use on individuals with a known sensitivity or allergy to chlorhexidine. Suitable for wounds covering no more than 10% of the body area.

Applications

Widely used across NHS hospitals, A&E departments, burns units, and GP surgeries throughout the UK. Suitable for minor burns and scalds, lacerations, abrasions, skin graft donor and recipient sites, and wounds where infection risk is present or where systemic antibiotics are already being administered for existing wound infections.
