Cutimed^® Sorbact^® Gel

is a hydrophobic bacteria binding wound dressing, based on Sorbact^® Technology. It consists of a green Sorbact^® wound contact layer with a water-based gel containing carbomer and propylene glycol (10%), and allows passage of wound exudate into a secondary dressing. Cutimed^® Sorbact^® Gel dressing hydrates and donates moisture to the wound, enableing a moist wound enviornment and promotes autolytic debridement.

For use in infection wound management
Safe removal of hydrophobic bacteria
Donates moisture and hydrates the wound bed

Intended Purpose

Indications: Cutimed® Sorbact® Gel is intended for use in management of clean, contaminated, colonized or infected dry to low exudating wounds, such as surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers. For managing exudate, Cutimed® Sorbact® Gel should be used together with a moisture preserving secondary dressing appropriate for the exudate level.

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 allergies^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

Symbol of looped threads to visualize that the product inhibits the growth of bacteria.

Safe removal of hydrophobic bacteria

Sorbact® Technology dressings irreversibly bind and remove adhered hydrophobic bacteria, ^{5, 6} without the release of active agents to the wound. Development of bacterial resistance is not expected.

Donates moisture and hydrates the wound bed

Cutimed® Sorbact® Gel has a high moisture-donation capacity, facilitating autolytic debridement⁷.

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 pathogens ⁸.

Hydrates the wound

Hydration assists a moist wound environment and facilitates the natural wound healing process.

How to use

Image showing how to apply Cutimed® Sorbact® Gel

1. Prepare the wound and surrounding skin according to local clinical practice.
2. Select an appropriate dressing size.
3. Remove the dressing from the peel pouch using an aseptic technique.
4. The dressing may be cut using an aseptic technique.
5. Apply the dressing. Ensure that the dressing comes into direct contact with the complete wound surface to allow microorganisms to bind to the dressing. The dressing should not overlap the surrounding skin. Avoid dense packing when used in deep wounds.
6. Apply a moisture preserving secondary dressing appropriate for the exudate level, such as foam dressing, absorbent pad or film dressing, and fixate.
7. 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
Should the dressing adhere to the wound, moisten the dressing to assist removal and to avoid disruption of the healing wound.
