A sterile, hydrophobic bacteria binding wound dressing.
is a hydrophobic bacteria binding wound dressing, based on Sorbact® Technology. The green Sorbact® wound contact layer allows passage of wound exudate into a secondary dressing.
Product Benefits
For use in infection wound management
Sorbact® Technology dressings reduce bioburden and support effective wound healing, with no known contraindications and low risk of allergies1,2,3,4.
Safe removal of hydrophobic bacteria
Sorbact® Technology dressings irreversibly bind and remove adhered hydrophobic bacteria,3,4without the release of active agents to the wound. Development of bacterial resistance is not expected.
Effective against most common resistant pathogens
In vitro tests show that Sorbact® Technology dressings are able to inhibit the growth of the Top 5 WHO pathogens5.
Can be cut to suitable size and shape
Cutimed® Sorbact® Wound Contact Layer is easy to cut to any size and custom shape to adapt to your needs, making it suitable for many wound types.

How to use
1. Prepare the wound and surrounding skin according to local clinical practice. 2. Select an appropriate dressing size for the wound. The dressing may overlap the wound margins if needed. 3. Remove the dressing from the pouch using an aseptic technique. 4. If the dressing is cut, use an aseptic technique. Discard any open and unused dressing. 5. Direct wound contact is a prerequisite for the effective hydrophobic binding of microorganisms. Always apply the dressings in a way that ensures direct contact with the wound surface. For use in cavity wounds, unfold and gently fluff up one or more dressings and line/fill the cavity. Avoid dense packing. 6. Apply an appropriate secondary dressing. 7. The dressing change frequency depends on exudate levels and the overall condition of the wound and surrounding skin. Depending on the clinical condition, the dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days. How to remove Should the dressing adhere to the wound, moisten or soak the dressing to assist removal and avoid disruption of the healing wound.
