Cutimed Sorbact swabs and ribbon gauzes are very compatible with hydroactive dressings, e.g. to ensure a moist wound environment, as long as Cutimed Sorbact has direct contact with the wound bed and the secondary dressing does not contain any fatty substances (e.g. paraffin, ointments or creams).

Yes, Cutimed Sorbact can be used with ringer or saline solution. Also compatible are commonly used wound irrigation solutions based on octenidine (e.g. Octenisept®), hexamethylene biguanide (e.g. Lavasept®), or ethacridine (acrinol, e.g. Rivanol®).
