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 allergies^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

Symbol of looped threads to visualize that the product inhibits the growth of bacteria.

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.

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.

How to use

1. Prepare the wound and surrounding skin according to local clinical practice. Ensure that the surrounding skin is clean and dry.
2. Choose an appropriate dressing that covers the wound and overlaps the wound edges. (A)
3. Remove the dressing from the peel pouch using an aseptic technique.
4. If required, the dressing may be cut using an aseptic technique to suit various wound shapes and locations. Discard unused pieces of the dressing.
5. Ensure that the Sorbact wound contact layer comes into direct contact with the complete wound surface to allow microorganisms to bind to the dressing. (B)
6. Fixate with an elastic bandage or skin friendly tape.
7. 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.
How to Remove
Gently remove any additional fixation and the dressing from the wound and discard.
