Cutimed® Siltec® Sorbact® B

is a hydrophobic bacteria binding wound dressing, based on Sorbact® Technology. The green Sorbact® wound contact layer allows passage of wound exudate into the absorbent silicone-coated polyurethane foam dressing. The super-absorbent stripes are designed to lock away wound exudate within the dressing, minimizing the risk of potential skin macerations. The dressing has a border with a silicone adhesive, which allows for atruamatic removal.

  • For use in infection wound management
  • Safe removal of hydrophobic bacteria
  • Effective against most common resistant pathogens

Intended Purpose

Indications: Cutimed® Siltec® Sorbact® B is intended for use in the management of clean, contaminated, colonized or infected low to high exudating wounds, such as surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers. It is intended to be used on superficial wounds.

Wear time: Should the clinical condition allow, the dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days.

Product benefits

Symbol of a shield representing infection prevention

For use in infection wound management

Sorbact® Technology dressings reduce bioburden and support effective wound healing, with no known contraindications and low risk of allergies1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Symbol of looped threads to visualize the term 'pacify'

Safe removal of hydrophobic bacteria

Sorbact® Technology dressings irreversibly bind and remove adhered hydrophobic bacteria, without the release of active agents to the wound5. Development of bacterial resistance is not expected.
Symbol showing crossed out pathogens, which stands for effectiveness against the most common resistant ones

Effective against most common resistant pathogens

In vitro tests show that Sorbact® Technology dressings are able to inhibit the growth of the Top 5 WHO pathogens7.
Symbol of a hand holding a heart with a feather to visualize that the product is skin-friendly

Skin-friendly and repositionable

Skin-friendly silicone adhesive borders that minimize trauma and pain for the patient during dressing changes8.

How to use

Image showing how to apply Cutimed® Siltec® Sorbact B
1. Prepare the wound and surrounding skin according to local clinical practice. Ensure that the surrounding skin is clean and dry.
2. Select an appropriate dressing size and shape that covers the wound and is suitable for the anatomical location. The wound pad should overlap the wound margins. (A) Do not cut the dressing.
3. Remove the dressing from the peel pouch using an aseptic technique.
4. Remove the protective film (B) from the dressing and apply the dressing to the wound. Ensure that the Sorbact® wound contact layer comes into direct contact with the complete wound surface to allow microorganisms to bind to the dressing.(C)
5. Avoid stretching the dressing.
6. The dressing change frequency depends on exudate levels and the overall condition of the wound and surrounding skin. Should the clinical condition allow, the dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days.
How to Remove
Gently remove Cutimed® Siltec® Sorbact® B from the wound and discard.
