Product benefits

• Special XL shape: Ideal for treating large wounds such as the lower leg, sacral area, chest, armpit area, thigh or lower abdomen
  
• Effective, vertical exudate management: Powerful exudate absorption ^capacity1 and high retention performance. Up to 33% more absorption than comparable competitors. Protection against maceration thanks to safe, vertical absorption.
• Ideal for compression therapy: thanks to the high retention capacity, exudate, germs and inflammatory factors such as MMPs are safely trapped in the product core and prevent rewetting into the wound and clothing - even under compression.
• Wound cleansing effect included: Continuous wound bed cleansing by reducing the proportion of fibrinous coatings (soft debridement).^2,3
• Can be used on both sides: safe application by avoiding application errors.
• Time- and cost-saving: time and cost savings due to fewer dressing changes and care requirements.⁴

Wound dressing sterile

Application

1. Disinfect hands and use gloves before applying Cutimed Sorbion Sachet XL.
2. If necessary, rinse the wound and then remove the remaining cleaning solution.
