Bactigras Antiseptic Dressing 15cm x 1M.
Bactigras is an antiseptic, soft paraffin dressing which soothes and protects the wound whilst helping to reduce wound infection and inflammation.

Bactigras is suitable for covering wounds such as minor burns, lacerations, abrasions, graft sites and leg ulcers.
