Use Cutimed Sorbact as an early intervention approach1,9

Early intervention supports the use of proactive infection prevention for hard-to-heal wounds with a high risk of infection during the contamination and colonisation phases by reducing the wound bioburden. Early intervention may prevent a wound infection from spreading and reduce the risk of systemic infection. It may also help avoid treating the wound with antibiotics - supporting Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) strategies.
