Is Bactine bad after hair transplant?

Charlie47
Hello, I just had a hair transplant 1 day ago. I would like to use something to keep the grafts moist and disinfect so i purchased a bottle of Bactine(benzalkonium chloride and lidocaine ). I have sprayed it on the area 5 or 6 times and now i am worried that maybe something with a disinfectant would be bad for the grafts so i have stopped. So, am I worried for no reason or have i screwed up?
