Cutimed Sorbact Pad

$157.80

Cutimed® Sorbact® Pad is a bacteria-binding dressing with an absorbent core built in. That core is what makes it Essity's choice for use under a total contact cast, where the dressing has to hold what the wound produces for days without being looked at.

The dressing surface is coated with a highly hydrophobic (water-repelling) fatty acid derivative. Wound bacteria and fungi are hydrophobic too, so when the dressing is moist they are drawn to that surface and bind to it irreversibly, unable to move back into the wound. They leave with each dressing change. The action is physical rather than chemical, so nothing is killed in the wound and no cell debris or endotoxin is released to delay healing — and because no antiseptic or antibiotic is used, no resistance can develop.

Sterile. Supplied as 7 x 9 cm and 10 x 10 cm in boxes of 5 or 40, and 10 x 20 cm in boxes of 20.
