BACTIGRAS Wound Dressing is a specialized wound care product designed to offer effective infection control and optimal healing for a wide range of wounds. Infused with an antibacterial agent, BACTIGRAS combines the benefits of antimicrobial protection with a gentle, non-adherent design to promote a clean, comfortable, and healing-friendly environment. Suitable for various wound types, this dressing ensures superior protection and comfort for patients and caregivers alike.

Key Features:

• Antibacterial Infusion: BACTIGRAS is impregnated with bactracin zinc, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. This addition helps to prevent and control bacterial growth at the wound site, reducing the risk of infection and supporting a cleaner healing process.

• Non-Adherent Contact Layer: The dressing features a non-adherent, low-friction contact layer that prevents it from sticking to the wound bed. This design minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes, making the process more comfortable for patients.

• Highly Absorbent: Made from a soft, absorbent material, BACTIGRAS efficiently manages wound exudate. It absorbs and locks away moisture, helping to prevent maceration and maintain a balanced wound environment that supports optimal healing.

• Breathable Backing: The dressing includes a breathable, moisture-vapor permeable backing that allows excess moisture to escape while protecting the wound from external contaminants. This breathable structure helps keep the wound area dry and less prone to infection.

• Convenient Sterile Packaging: Each dressing is individually packaged in a sterile, easy-to-open wrapper. This ensures that the dressing remains clean and free from contamination until it is ready for use.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Infection Control: The antimicrobial properties of bactracin zinc help to reduce the risk of infection, providing additional protection for wounds that are at risk or already exhibiting signs of bacterial contamination.

• Comfortable and Gentle: The non-adherent layer and soft material provide a comfortable experience for patients, reducing discomfort and pain during dressing changes and minimizing trauma to the wound bed.

• Effective Moisture Management: The dressing’s absorbent properties help manage moderate to heavy exudate, preventing maceration and promoting a healthier wound environment.

• Protection and Breathability: The breathable backing protects the wound from external contaminants while allowing moisture vapor to escape, contributing to better wound hygiene and faster healing.

• Easy to Use: The sterile, individually wrapped dressings are convenient to handle and apply, making them a practical choice for both healthcare professionals and patients.

Indications for Use:

BACTIGRAS Wound Dressing is suitable for a variety of wound types, including:

• Minor cuts and abrasions
• Surgical wounds
• Traumatic wounds (such as lacerations and skin tears)
• Superficial burns
• Post-operative wounds (where infection risk is a concern)
• Chronic wounds at risk of infection

Application:

1. Preparation: Clean the wound area with an appropriate wound cleanser or saline solution. Ensure the surrounding skin is dry and free from any oils or creams.
2. Application: Open the sterile packaging and carefully remove the BACTIGRAS Wound Dressing. Apply the dressing directly to the wound, ensuring that the non-adherent layer is in full contact with the wound bed.
3. Securing: If needed, secure the dressing in place with an appropriate secondary dressing or tape to ensure it stays in position and provides full coverage of the wound.
4. Wear Time: The dressing can typically be worn for up to 7 days, depending on the level of exudate and the condition of the wound. Regularly monitor the wound and dressing, and change as necessary based on clinical assessment.
5. Removal: To remove the dressing, gently peel it away from the wound starting from one edge. Dispose of the used dressing according to standard infection control procedures.

Contraindications:

• Not for Deep or High-Risk Wounds: BACTIGRAS is intended for use on superficial wounds and may not be suitable for very deep wounds or those with high infection risk where advanced wound care products are required.
• Sensitivity: If there is known sensitivity to any components of the dressing, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Advantages Over Traditional Dressings:

• Antibacterial Protection: BACTIGRAS provides an added layer of antimicrobial protection compared to traditional dressings, which may not offer infection control.
• Non-Adherent Layer: Unlike traditional dressings that may adhere to the wound bed, BACTIGRAS’s non-adherent design reduces trauma and discomfort during dressing changes.
• Enhanced Absorption: Offers superior moisture management and protection compared to many traditional dressings, reducing the risk of maceration and infection.

The BACTIGRAS Wound Dressing is a high-performance wound care solution that combines antimicrobial protection with comfort and effective exudate management. Its antibacterial properties, non-adherent design, and absorbent material make it an ideal choice for managing a variety of wounds, from minor cuts to post-operative sites.
