Action:
The action of chlorhexidine acetate is both bacteriostatic and bactericidal. Chlorhexidine Acetate has been shown to be active, in vitro, against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria at concentrations of 10-50 µg/ml. These include: B. subtilis Sal. pullorum Strep. lactis V. choleroe Strep. pyogenes (4 strains) Strep. faecalis Coryn. diphtheriae Sal. dublin Strep. pneumoniae Sal. typhimurium Staph. aureus (20 strains) A. aerogenes Pr. vulgaris E. coli P. aeruginosa (10 strains) Chlorhexidine has been found to be ineffective against heat resistant spores and acid-fast bacilli.
Indications:
BACTIGRAS is indicated for adjunctive treatment and prevention of infection in skin loss lesions, including wounds, burns and ulcers.
Contraindications:
BACTIGRAS is contraindicated in patients with a known, or suspected, sensitivity to chlorhexidine. Due to the cationic properties of chlorhexidine, BACTIGRAS is incompatible with anionic surfactants and other anionic compounds. One layer of tulle gras only should be applied directly to the surface of lesions being treated, and this should be done with forceps under sterile conditions. Avoid contact with eyes, the middle ear, meninges and brain.
