Cutimed® Sorbact® Dressing Pad is a highly effective wound dressing that utilizes innovative Sorbact® Technology. Designed to bind and eliminate bacteria and fungi, this dressing ensures optimal wound care and infection control.


Product Features:

  • Infection Prevention: Prevents and treats wound infection
  • Safe Removal of Pathogens: Sorbact Technology irreversibly binds and removes bacteria, fungi, and endotoxins without releasing active agents into the wound, minimizing resistance development.
  • Effective Against Resistant Pathogens: Inhibits growth of common resistant pathogens, providing broad-spectrum antimicrobial action.
  • Easy to Use: Comfortable and simple application ensures patient comfort and ease of use.

Intended Purpose:

Cutimed® Sorbact® Dressing Pad is ideal for managing clean, contaminated, colonised, or infected wounds with moderate to high exudate. Suitable for:

  • Surgical wounds
  • Traumatic wounds
  • Pressure ulcers
  • Diabetic foot ulcers
  • Leg ulcers
  • Superficial wounds

Wear Time:

  • Up to 7 days: Depending on clinical conditions, the dressing can remain in place for up to 7 days, reducing the need for frequent changes.

How to Use:

  1. Prepare: Clean the wound and surrounding skin according to clinical practice.
  2. Select Size: Ensure the wound pad overlaps the wound margins by at least 2 cm.
  3. Apply Aseptically: Remove the dressing from its peel pouch using aseptic technique.
  4. Position Correctly: Ensure the green contact layer covers the entire wound surface.
  5. Fixate: Secure with an elastic bandage or skin-friendly tape.
  6. Monitor: Change dressing based on exudate levels and wound condition.

How to Remove:

  • If the dressing adheres, moisten it to ease removal and prevent wound disruption.
