How compatible is Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive with blood?
We have not had any clinical experience with using Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive in combination with Cutimed Gel to date.
However, the combination of the two medications is not wise. Cutimed Gel releases moisture and is used to treat necrotic and coated wounds, whilst Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive absorbs moisture and is used to treat infected and coated wounds. In order to be able to use both principles effectively for the purpose of wound healing, Cutimed Sorbact Gel can be used.
Yes. However, we have not had any clinical experience with using Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive in combination with Cutimed PROTECT to date.
The low water vapor permeability helps to preserve the moist wound environment. Macerations are not aided if the recommended period of application for Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive of a maximum of 4 days is adhered to. In the case of a longer period of application to severely exuding and/or infected wounds, macerations may ensue in extremely rare cases. These patients are advised to use Cutimed PROTECT in order to prevent macerations.
No. Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive does not contain colophony.
This means that Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive will be tolerated well and only poses a slight risk of causing an allergic reaction.
This was established by means of the biocompatibility test ISO 10993. Within the scope of this test, Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive was examined to carry out a check on its cytotoxicity, sensitizing properties and ability to cause irritation.
Very compatible. Blood does not have a negative influence on the product efficiency of Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive.
No. No clinical examinations have been carried out in this regard. In order not to affect the results of the radiographic examinations on the one hand and to rule out possible effects on Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive on the other, we recommend removing the wound covering prior to carrying out the examination.
