WHAT IT IS / WHAT IT DOES

Infection Defense™ Bandages by BAND-AID® with POLYSPORIN® combine sterile adhesive wound protection with a first-aid antibiotic ointment applied directly to the bandage pad.

Unlike conventional adhesive bandages, these bandages contain POLYSPORIN® antibiotic ointment, providing antibiotic protection as part of the bandage itself.

The ointment contains two antibiotic ingredients:

• Bacitracin zinc
• Polymyxin B sulfate

These ingredients help prevent bacterial infection in minor cuts, scrapes and burns.

Each bandage also features a 4-sided seal designed to help protect the wound from external dirt and germs.

The result is a convenient wound-care solution that combines antibiotic ointment and protective bandage coverage in one application.

MEDICINAL INGREDIENTS

Medicinal Ingredient	Concentration	Purpose
Bacitracin Zinc	500 units/g	First-Aid Antibiotic
Polymyxin B Sulfate	10,000 units/g	First-Aid Antibiotic

Important: These concentrations refer to the antibiotic ointment applied to the bandage pad, not the total amount of antibiotic in each bandage.

How the Antibiotics Work

Bacitracin Zinc

A topical antibiotic used to help prevent bacterial infection in minor skin injuries.

Polymyxin B Sulfate

A topical antibiotic that provides additional antibacterial activity against certain bacteria.

Together, these ingredients help provide antibiotic protection for minor cuts, scrapes and burns.

NON-MEDICINAL INGREDIENTS

Inactive ingredient:

• Petrolatum

Petrolatum serves as the ointment base and helps keep the antibiotic formulation on the bandage pad.

Latex Information

Not made with natural rubber latex.

Individuals with known adhesive sensitivities should review the current packaging before use.

ANTIBIOTIC INFECTION PROTECTION

Minor cuts, scrapes and burns can expose damaged skin to bacteria.

Infection Defense™ Bandages combine two approaches to wound protection:

1. Antibiotic Protection

POLYSPORIN® antibiotic ointment is applied directly to the bandage pad to help prevent bacterial infection.

2. Physical Wound Protection

The adhesive bandage provides a protective covering, while its 4-sided seal helps reduce exposure to dirt and germs.

Together, these features provide convenient first-aid protection for minor skin injuries.

4-SIDED PROTECTIVE SEAL

Each bandage features a 4-sided seal designed to protect the wound from external contaminants.

This protective design helps:

• Keep dirt away from the wound
• Reduce exposure to external germs
• Maintain coverage over the affected area
• Protect minor injuries during everyday activities

The seal provides a protective barrier but does not make the bandage a substitute for proper wound cleaning or medical treatment when needed.

MESS-FREE ANTIBIOTIC APPLICATION

Traditional wound care may involve applying antibiotic ointment separately before covering the affected area with a bandage.

BAND-AID® Infection Defense™ Bandages simplify this process by placing POLYSPORIN® antibiotic ointment directly on the pad.

This offers:

• Convenient application
• Less handling of antibiotic ointment
• No separate ointment tube required for routine use
• Easy first-aid care at home or while travelling

ASSORTED SIZES FOR EVERYDAY FIRST AID

Each package contains 20 sterile antibiotic bandages in assorted sizes.

The variety of sizes makes the package suitable for covering different minor cuts, scrapes and burns.

The exact number and dimensions of each bandage size were not included in the supplied product information.

Refer to the current packaging for the complete size assortment.

DIRECTIONS

For minor cuts, scrapes and burns:

1. Clean the affected area. Gently clean the wound before applying the bandage.
2. Apply the bandage. Cover the affected area with an appropriately sized Infection Defense™ Bandage.
3. Replace as needed. Change the bandage when necessary, including if it becomes wet, dirty or loose.

The antibiotic ointment is already applied to the bandage pad.

PAIR WITH

Useful for applying gentle pressure to minor bleeding wounds before covering them.

3. Medical Adhesive Tape
