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 allergies1, 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. 
Symbol showing crossed out pathogens, which stands for effectiveness against the most common resistant ones

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) pathogens 7.
Symbol of different extraordinary shapes to represent the special shape of the product

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.
