BACTIGRAS Medicated Tulle Gras Dressing – Antiseptic protection for at‑risk wounds

BACTIGRAS® is a medicated tulle gras dressing made of leno weave gauze impregnated with white soft paraffin BP containing 0.5% chlorhexidine acetate BP. It is designed to soothe and protect wounds while reducing the risk of infection. Suitable for carers, nurses, aged care providers, NDIS participants, and home users, BACTIGRAS provides reliable antiseptic activity against a wide range of organisms, including MRSA.

This dressing is intended for topical use only and is ideal for wounds where infection risk is present or for already infected wounds when used alongside systemic antibacterials.

Why Choose BACTIGRAS?

BACTIGRAS is proven to be antiseptically active in both laboratory and clinical settings. Its open weave structure allows viscous exudate to pass into a secondary absorbent dressing, supporting effective wound management. The chlorhexidine acetate helps soothe the wound while minimising bacterial colonisation, making it a trusted choice for infection‑prone wounds.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Facilitates exudate passage: Open weave design allows fluid to move into a secondary absorbent dressing.
  • Proven antiseptic activity: Effective against Gram‑positive and Gram‑negative organisms, including MRSA.
  • Soothing protection: Chlorhexidine acetate helps calm the wound while reducing infection risk.
  • One‑piece removal: Dressing can remain in place for up to four days and is removed easily in one piece.
