Bactigras (15cm x 20cm) 10 Bandages

Chlorhexidine Tulle Dressing Bandage primarily exerts its antimicrobial action through the active ingredient chlorhexidine. Chlorhexidine is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that disrupts the cell membrane of bacteria, fungi, and some viruses. It binds to the negatively charged components of the microbial cell wall, causing it to become permeable and leading to the leakage of essential intracellular components. This disruption of the cell membrane ultimately results in cell death. The tulle dressing bandage serves as a carrier for chlorhexidine, allowing it to be applied directly to the wound site, where it can exert its antimicrobial effects. The controlled release of chlorhexidine from the dressing ensures a sustained antimicrobial action, helping to prevent and control wound infections.

• Avoid consuming alcohol as it can potentially irritate the skin and delay wound healing.
• Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C, to promote wound healing and support overall skin health.
• Citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are rich in vitamin C, which is essential for collagen production and wound repair.
• Lean proteins such as chicken, fish, and legumes provide amino acids necessary for tissue regeneration.
• Foods high in zinc, such as nuts, seeds, and whole grains, contribute to skin healing and immune function.
• Probiotic-rich foods like yogurt can support the skin's microbiome and promote healing.
• Avoid sugary foods and beverages, as high sugar intake can impair the immune system and slow down wound healing.

The proper storage and disposal of Chlorhexidine Tulle Dressing Bandage are essential for maintaining its effectiveness and safety. Store the bandage in a clean, dry environment, preferably in its original packaging, to protect it from dust and moisture. Keep it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, as these conditions can degrade the chlorhexidine content. Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated to prevent the buildup of moisture. When disposing of the bandage, do not flush it down the toilet or throw it into regular trash. Instead, follow local guidelines for medical waste disposal, which may involve sealing it in a separate bag or container before discarding it in designated medical waste bins. It's crucial to keep the bandage out of the reach of children and pets to prevent accidental contact or ingestion.
