Smith Nephew Bactigras is a white paraffin-impregnated gauze dressing made of linen fibers, with 0.5% chlorhexidine acetate (BP).
It acts as a mesh barrier between the wound surface and the secondary dressing, while allowing exudate (inflammatory fluid) to be absorbed by the secondary dressing.
Chlorhexidine acetate is an antiseptic that is slowly released from Bactigras, providing prolonged action against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
