Bind and inactivate wound pathogens:
Cutimed Sorbact has proved effective in infected diabetic ulcers and in preventing an infection. By a unique mode of action the microbial load is effectively reduced without using a chemically active agent, such as silver.
Cutimed Sorbact is not linked to undesirable side effects or bacterial resistances and supports the natural wound healing process. Choose from a wide range of products depending on:
- wound size
- wound depth
- exudate level
Manage various amounts of exudate:
Depending on the level of exudate, either
- use Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive, a dressing that combines bacteria-binding therapy with reliable exudate management due to its hydropolymer core, or
- cover Cutimed Sorbact ribbon gauze or swabs with a conformable film or foam dressing (depending on exudate). Also here, a retention bandage is the best solution to ensure hardwearing fixation.
Applying dressings that remain safely in place after amputations might often be challenging due to the awkward anatomical shape. In most cases only a combination of different products will lead to satisfying results. This may include:
- wide-area fixation
- retention bandages
- film or foam dressings
