Product benefits

Symbol of a shield representing infection prevention

Prevents and treats wound infection

Sorbact Technology dressings reduce bioburden and support effective wound healing, with no known contraindications and low risk of allergies1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Symbol of looped threads to visualize the term 'pacify'

Safe removal of bacteria, fungi and endotoxins

Sorbact Technology dressings irreversibly bind and remove bacteria, without the release of active agents to the wound5. Development of bacterial or fungal resistance is not expected. 
Symbol showing crossed out pathogens, which stands for effectiveness against the most common resistant ones

Effective against most common resistant pathogens

In vitro tests show that Sorbact Technology dressings are able to inhibit the growth of the Top 5 World Health Organization (WHO) pathogens 7.
Symbol of different extraordinary shapes to represent the special shape of the product

Anatomical shape

Designed to fit the sacral area and provide good conformability, with silicone adhesive border that minimises trauma to the surrounding skin. 
Symbol of a dressing and water droplets that do not reach its backing to visualize the water-repellant feature

Waterproof and breathable backing film

The film provides protection against external contamination and allows excess fluid to evaporate.

1. Prepare the wound and surrounding skin according to local clinical practice. Ensure that the surrounding skin is clean and dry.
2. Select an appropriate dressing size and shape that covers the wound and is suitable for the anatomical location. The wound pad should overlap the wound margins. (A) Do not cut the dressing.
3. Remove the dressing from the peel pouch using an aseptic technique.
4. Remove the protective film (B) from the dressing and apply the dressing to the wound. Ensure that the Sorbact wound contact layer comes into direct contact with the complete wound surface to allow microorganisms to bind to the dressing.(C)
5. Avoid stretching the dressing.
6. The dressing change frequency depends on exudate levels and the overall condition of the wound and surrounding skin. Should the clinical condition allow, the dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days.
