An essential factor in wound healing is the management of microbial flora; in the form of infection treatment and prevention
Cutimed® Sorbact® utilises the safe and effective Sorbact® technology that binds bacteria with a purely physical mode of action. Sorbact® Technology removes bacteria without releasing possibly harmful endotoxins
Sorbact® engineered dressings actively remove bacteria and bind them to the surface of the dressing, to reduce bioburden on the wound and promote healing.
The dynamic nature of Sorbact Technology allows these dressings to provide a range of functions.
Sorbact® safely removes bacteria with no antimicrobial resistance
SORBACT TECHNOLOGY
Binding
The hydrophobic properties of Sorbact® dressings cause bacteria and endotoxins to bind to the dressing's surface, keeping the wound clean.
Inhibition
Once bacteria binds to the dressing, its growth becomes inhibited, thus preventing endotoxins from being released into the wound.
Removal
Removal of Sorbact® dressings, also removes bacteria from the site of the wound to reduce bioburden and promote natural healing.
Indication
Sorbact® products are indicated for post-operative and traumatic wounds with low to moderate exudate levels.
