What is Smith & Nephew Bactigras?
Overview
Smith & Nephew Bactigras is a sterile, medicated dressing designed for wound care, available in 10 cm x 10 cm size, and this pack contains 10 dressings. It is a low-adherent dressing, meaning it won't stick to the wound, which is crucial for comfortable healing and prevents damage during dressing changes. Bactigras is designed to soothe and protect wounds.
- Medicated with 0.5% Chlorhexidine Acetate
- Provides a barrier against infection
- Facilitates a moist wound healing environment
Key Benefits of Using Bactigras
Wound Protection
Bactigras dressings are designed to protect the wound from infection. The Chlorhexidine Acetate within the dressing acts as an antiseptic. Bactigras also provides a protective barrier.
Gentle on Wounds
The low-adherent properties of Bactigras ensure that it doesn't stick to the wound bed. This is particularly beneficial for painful or sensitive wounds, and makes dressing changes easier and less traumatic.
- Minimizes pain during dressing changes
- Reduces the risk of further tissue damage
Promotes Healing
By creating a moist environment, Bactigras helps the body's natural healing process. The paraffin gauze base helps soothe the wound and allows for drainage of exudate, which further supports the healing process.
How to Use Bactigras Dressing
Application Instructions
Before applying Bactigras, ensure the wound is cleaned thoroughly. Remove any debris and irrigate the wound with saline solution. Once the wound is clean, gently apply the Bactigras dressing. The dressing should cover the entire wound area.
Frequency of Changes
The frequency of dressing changes depends on the condition of the wound and the amount of exudate. In many cases, Bactigras can be left in place for up to a day. However, consult with a healthcare professional for guidance on the best change schedule.
Additional Steps
After applying Bactigras, cover it with a secondary dressing to absorb any drainage. Ensure the secondary dressing adequately covers the Bactigras. The secondary dressing will help keep the wound protected and allow proper airflow.
Important Safety Information
Precautions
Bactigras is for external use only. Avoid use if you are allergic to chlorhexidine or any other ingredients. If any signs of an allergic reaction occur, discontinue use and consult your doctor immediately.
When to Seek Medical Advice
If the wound does not start healing in a few days, or if signs of infection (increased pain, redness, swelling, pus) appear, contact a healthcare professional. Always consult a doctor for serious wounds or those that have not improved after a few days.
