Cutimed Siltec Sorbact B 15x15cm (10 pcs)

The highly absorbent foam dressing with silicone adhesive edge combines the effective exudate management of Cutimed Siltec with the active ingredient-free bacteria-binding effect of Cutimed Sorbact. Thanks to the purely physical principle of action, Cutimed Sorbact binds and removes bacteria without releasing antimicrobial agents (Sorbact technology): The special Sorbact coating gives the product strong hydrophobic (water-repellent) properties. Many pathogenic bacteria and fungi are hydrophobic by nature and therefore bind to the Sorbact fabric. This reduces the number of germs in the wound with each dressing change and creates optimum conditions for the natural wound healing process.

Advantages

• No known mechanisms for bacteria or fungi to develop resistance to Cutimed Sorbact

• no killing of bacteria and fungi, therefore no additional release of endotoxins and associated healing delay

• effective exudate absorption due to superabsorbent foam

• Reduced risk of maceration due to excellent vertical absorption

• unlimited duration of application during the course of therapy

Cutimed Siltec Sorbact B is suitable for all clean, colonised, contaminated or infected wounds and is used for moderately to heavily exuding wounds or for the prophylaxis of wounds at risk of infection:

• chronic wounds (e.g. venous, arterial or diabetic ulcers and pressure ulcers)

• post-operative wounds and wound dehiscences

• traumatic wounds

• Wounds after excision of fistulas and abscesses

• Fungal skin infections

Changing the dressing: Should be changed when it is visibly soaked with wound secretions.
