Indications
Cutimed Sorbact can be used for all types of contaminated, colonised or infected exuding wounds, regardless of their aetiology, such as:
- chronic wounds, e.g. venous, arterial, or diabetic ulcers and pressure ulcers
- wounds after excision of fistulas and abscesses
- postoperative dehisced wounds
- traumatic wounds
Advantages over other antimicrobial approaches.
No risk of allergies
with Cutimed Sorbact dressing pads, swabs and ribbon gauze as the components are highly skin compatible.
No contraindications
with Cutimed Sorbact dressing pads, swabs and ribbon gauze: All products can be used without hesitation during pregnancy and breastfeeding as well as on children.
No cytotoxicity
as Cutimed Sorbact does not release any chemically active substances into the wound that might impair the healing process.
No promotion of bacterial endotoxin release
because, unlike e.g. silver products, Cutimed Sorbact does not destroy bacteria. Thus endotoxin release from dead cells is prevented, and the natural wound healing is supported.
No development of bacterial or fungal resistances
that might be linked with the use of antiseptics or antibiotics as hydrophobic interaction is essential for microbial life.
