Cutimed. Sorbact Ribbon Gauzes | 2cm x 50cm | Pack of 20

Cutimed Sorbact is the first wound dressing that binds microbes irreversibly using a technology known as DACC (dialkylcarbamoylchloride) – a derivative of a natural fatty acid - with which all dressings are coated.

Most bacterial and fungi found within a wound express cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH).  The DACC coating also provides the dressings with very strong hydrophobic properties. As such, in a moist wound environment, bacteria and fungi associate with the dressing, becoming irreversibly bound to it in the process.

Cutimed Sorbact is effective in all wounds where the primary goal is to reduce the bacterial burden, regardless of their aetiology including:
a) chronic wounds e.g. diabetic foot, leg and pressure ulcers
b) post-operative dehisced wounds
c) traumatic wounds
d) after incision or excision of fistulae or abscesses
