is a bacteria and fungi binding wound dressing, based on Sorbact^® Technology. It consists of a Sorbact DACC™-coated wound contact layer, combined with an absorbent polyurethane foam that contains superabsorbent stripes and a border with silicone adhesive.

Prevents and treats wound infection
Safe removal of bacteria, fungi and endotoxins
Effective against most common resistant pathogens

Intended Purpose

Cutimed Siltec Sorbact B is intended for use in the management of clean, contaminated, colonised or infected low to high exuding wounds, such as surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and leg ulcers. It is intended to be used on superficial wounds.

Wear time: Should the clinical condition allow, the dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days.

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) pathogens⁷.

Skin-friendly

Skin-friendly silicone adhesive border that minimise trauma and pain for the patient during dressing changes⁸.

Waterproof and breathable backing film

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

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. 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.
How to Remove
Gently remove Cutimed Siltec Sorbact B from the wound and discard.
