Intended Purpose

Indications: Cutimed® Sorbion® Sana Gentle is intended for the treatment of wounds with low to excessive exudate levels such as pressure injuries, venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and other wounds healing through secondary intention, dehisced wounds, as well as on donor sites and fragile skin.

Wear time: Cutimed® Sorbion® Sana Gentle can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on wound conditions and saturation of the wound dressing. It is recommended to change the dressing every 24 hours initially, moving to less frequent changes as necessary. A completely soaked dressing must always be avoided.

Product benefits

Outstanding absorption capacity

Outstanding absorption capacity and high retention performance. It is capable of absorbing up to 44.7% more than comparable superabsorbent dressings¹. Protection against maceration through safe, vertical absorption.

Atraumatic dressing change

Due to its 3-D structure and smooth surface the outer wound contact layer facilitates the fluid flow in the direction of the dressing, while offering few points of access for ingrowing tissue, consequently, providing a protective layer against adherence to the wound bed².

Wound cleansing effect

Creates optimal wound healing conditions and provides soft debridement, minimizing the treatment effort^{3, 4, 5}.

Time and cost-saving

Time- and cost-saving thanks to reduced frequency of dressing changes and therapy efforts.

Ideal for compression therapy

High retention capacity safely locks away exudate and germs, even under compression therapy⁶.

Apply either side down

Can be used on both sides for easy and comfortable application.

How to use

1. Before applying the dressing, disinfect hands and use gloves.
2. Cleanse the wound according to standard procedures. If necessary, irrigate the wound and remove leftover cleansing solution afterwards.
3. Select a suitable dressing size, so that the absorbent inner core overlaps the wound margins by at least 1 cm/0.4-inch.
4. When taking the product out of the pouch, do not touch the wound pad.
5. Apply the dressing towards the wound. Both sides of the dressing can be applied to the wound.
6. Secure the dressing after selecting an appropriate fixation for the condition of the wound surroundings and the skin. Films, medical tapes, bandages, or any other suitable fixation dressing can be used.
7. While fixating the dressing, take absorption expansion into consideration.
How to remove
To remove Cutimed® Sorbion® Sana Gentle, first remove any fixation tapes, then lift one corner of Cutimed® Sorbion® Sana Gentle, and gently remove and discard. Adherence of wound deposits to Cutimed® Sorbion® Sana Gentle is a desirable effect, contributing to wound cleansing (soft debridement).
