Cutimed® Sorbion® Sana Multi Star

is a sterile, hydroactive, gel-forming, superabsorbent wound dressing with a special anatomical shape designed for contours of the body. The atraumatic dressing consists of a strong water-retaining superabsorbent core, an in-between layer of hypoallergenic polypropylene fleece and an outer wound contact layer made of polyethylene film with three-dimensional perforations.

  • Outstanding absorption capacity 
  • Flexible and conformable
  • Atraumatic dressing change 

Intended Purpose

Indications: Cutimed® Sorbion® Sana Multi Star 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, on donor sites, and fragile skin.

Wear time: Cutimed® Sorbion® Sana Multi Star can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on the clinical conditions of the wound 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.
Symbol of three arrows in different directions to visualize flexibility

Flexible and conformable

It is especially suitable for application on contoured body parts, such as the toes or heels.

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.

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. When taking the product out of the pouch, do not touch the wound pad.
4. Apply the dressing towards the wound. Both sides of the dressing can be applied to the wound.
5. 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. While fixating the dressing, take absorption expansion into consideration.
How to remove
To remove Cutimed® Sorbion® Sana Multi Star, remove any fixation tapes, then lift one side of Cutimed® Sorbion® Sana Multi Star and gently remove the dressing and discard. Adherence of wound deposits to Cutimed® Sorbion® Sana Multi Star is a desirable effect, contributing to wound cleansing (soft debridement).
