Cutimed® Sorbact® Gel Compress with hydrogel sterile, 7.5 x 7.5 cm, 10 ST

Cutimed® Sorbact® Gel is a hydrogel-impregnated, germ-reducing wound dressing. It cleans the wound of plaque and necrotic tissue through autolytic debridement and reduces the bacterial count in the wound based on the principle of hydrophobic interaction.

Cutimed® Sorbact® Gel consists of a hydrogel-impregnated compress made of acetate fibres with a bacteria-binding coating.

The special Sorbact® coating gives the product strong hydrophobic (water-repellent) properties. Many pathogenic bacteria and fungi are hydrophobic by nature and therefore bind to the Sorbact® fabric. This reduces the number of germs in the wound with each dressing change and creates optimum conditions for the natural wound healing process.

Advantages

• No known mechanisms for bacteria or fungi to develop resistance to Cutimed® Sorbact®
• No killing of bacteria and fungi, therefore no additional release of endotoxins and associated delay in healing
• Unlimited duration of use during the course of therapy
• No known contraindications
• Not made with natural rubber latex
