How to use

Image showing how to apply Cutimed® Sorbact Pad®
1. Prepare the wound and surrounding skin according to local clinical practice.
2. Select an appropriate dressing size for the wound. The wound pad should overlap the wound margins by at least 2 cm. Do not cut the dressing.
3. Remove the dressing from the peel pouch using an aseptic technique.
4. Apply the dressing. Ensure that the green contact layer comes into direct contact with the complete wound surface to allow microorganisms to bind to the dressing.
5. Fixate with an elastic bandage or skin friendly tape.
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
Should the dressing adhere to the wound, moisten the dressing to assist removal and to avoid disruption of the healing wound.
