Combining the soothing properties of soft paraffin with the antimicrobial action of chlorhexidine acetate, it helps create a moist healing environment and minimizes trauma during dressing changes.

Vaseline Gauze BACTIGRAS 5cm × 5cm 50 Pieces

BACTIGRAS® Medicated Paraffin Gauze Dressing is a sterile wound contact dressing specifically developed to provide gentle antibacterial protection while maintaining an optimal healing environment. The dressing consists of an open-weave cotton gauze impregnated with soft white paraffin and 0.5% chlorhexidine acetate, combining wound comfort with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Its low-adherent construction helps prevent the dressing from sticking to newly formed tissue, reducing disruption of the healing process and improving patient comfort during dressing changes.

Designed for professional wound management, BACTIGRAS® acts as a protective interface between the wound bed and secondary absorbent dressings. The open-weave structure enables efficient transfer of wound exudate to an outer dressing layer while maintaining direct contact with the wound surface. This balance of moisture retention and fluid management supports tissue regeneration and helps create favorable conditions for healing.

Enhanced Features

• Chlorhexidine acetate provides continuous antibacterial protection against a wide range of microorganisms commonly associated with wound contamination.

• Soft paraffin impregnation forms a soothing protective layer that minimizes adherence and reduces dressing-related trauma.

• Open-weave cotton gauze construction allows exudate to pass freely into a secondary absorbent dressing for improved wound management.

• Sterile single-use packaging ensures hygienic application and minimizes the risk of cross-contamination.

• Flexible and conformable design adapts easily to body contours and difficult anatomical areas.

• Lightweight and breathable structure helps maintain patient comfort during extended wear.

• Suitable for use beneath compression bandaging systems when clinically appropriate.

• Easy to apply, remove, and replace during routine wound care procedures.

• Maintains intimate wound contact without excessive pressure on fragile tissue.

• Compatible with a variety of secondary dressings, bandages, and fixation methods.

Clinical Benefits

BACTIGRAS® provides an effective barrier against bacterial contamination while supporting the body’s natural healing mechanisms. The chlorhexidine component helps inhibit bacterial growth on the dressing surface, making it particularly valuable for wounds at increased risk of infection. By maintaining a moist wound environment, the dressing supports cellular migration and tissue repair, helping to promote healthy granulation and epithelialization.

The paraffin coating reduces friction and adherence, which can significantly improve patient comfort during dressing removal. This feature is particularly beneficial for painful wounds, burns, skin graft sites, and delicate skin conditions where minimizing trauma is essential. Reduced dressing adherence also helps preserve newly formed tissue, supporting uninterrupted wound healing progression.

Performance Advantages

Unlike conventional dry gauze dressings that may adhere to the wound surface, BACTIGRAS® remains soft and gentle throughout use. The dressing helps prevent wound desiccation while allowing controlled moisture balance, an important factor in modern wound care management. Its ability to transfer exudate efficiently into a secondary dressing helps reduce the risk of fluid accumulation and maceration of surrounding skin.

The antibacterial properties combined with atraumatic removal make BACTIGRAS® a practical choice for both acute and chronic wound care. Healthcare professionals value its ease of use, reliable performance, and versatility across a wide range of wound types.

Typical Applications

BACTIGRAS® is suitable for the management of:

• Minor burns and scalds
• Skin graft donor and recipient sites
• Surgical incisions and post-operative wounds
• Traumatic wounds and lacerations
• Abrasions and superficial injuries
• Pressure ulcers and pressure injuries
• Venous leg ulcers
• Diabetic foot ulcers (under clinical supervision)
• Chronic wounds requiring antibacterial wound contact protection
