Cutimed Sorbact Gel is a hydrophobic bacteria-binding wound dressing based on Sorbact Technology. It features a green wound contact layer with a water-based gel containing carbomer and 10% propylene glycol. The dressing allows exudate to pass into a secondary dressing while hydrating and donating moisture to the wound bed. This helps maintain a moist wound environment and promotes autolytic debridement.
Features:
- Not made with natural rubber latex
- Effective for infection wound management
- Safely removes hydrophobic bacteria
- Requires a secondary dressing
- Usable on both sides
- Suitable for dry to heavily exuding wounds
- Donates moisture and hydrates the wound bed
Benefits:
- Reduces bioburden and supports effective wound healing with no known contraindications and low allergy risk
- Irreversibly binds and removes hydrophobic bacteria without releasing active agents, minimizing resistance development
- High moisture donation promotes autolytic debridement
- Inhibits the growth of the top five WHO-listed pathogens (in vitro)
- Helps maintain a moist wound environment for natural healing
Directions for Use:
- Clean the wound and surrounding skin according to local clinical practice
- Select an appropriate dressing size
- Remove the dressing from the peel pouch using an aseptic technique
- If necessary, cut the dressing to size using aseptic technique
- Ensure full contact between the dressing and wound surface; avoid overlapping surrounding skin or dense packing in deep wounds
- Cover with a moisture-preserving secondary dressing (foam, absorbent pad, or film) and secure in place
- Change frequency depends on exudate level and wound condition; dressing may remain for up to 7 days if clinically appropriate
How to Remove:
- If the dressing adheres, moisten before removal to avoid disturbing the healing tissue
Indications:
- Surgical wounds
- Traumatic wounds
- Pressure injuries
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Venous leg ulcers
Wear Time: Dressing may remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on clinical condition.
