Cutimed® Sorbion® Sorbact®

is a bacteria and fungi binding wound dressing, based on Sorbact® Technology. It consists of a Sorbact® DACC™-coated wound contact layer combined with a superabsorbent core, which absorbs and retains excessive exudate levels, thereby optimizing the wound environment.

  • Prevents and treats wound infections
  • Safe removal of bacteria, fungi and endotoxins
  • Effective against most common resistant pathogens

Intended Purpose

Indications: Cutimed Sorbion Sorbact is intended for use in the management of clean, contaminated, colonized or infected high to excessive exuding wounds, such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, traumatic wounds and surgical wounds. It is intended to be used on superficial wounds.

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

Prevents and treats wound infections

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 bacteria, fungi and endotoxins

Sorbact Technology dressings irreversibly bind and remove bacteria, without the release of active agents to the wound.5 Development of bacterial or fungal resistance is not expected.
Symbol showing crossed out pathogens, which stands for effectiveness against the most common resistant ones

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.7
Symbol with a weight on a wound to visualize the outstanding absorption capacity

Excellent absorption capacity

By absorbing and retaining wound exudate, the risk of maceration is reduced and a moist wound environment is enabled.8

How to use

  1. Prepare the wound and surrounding skin according to local clinical practice.
  2. Select an appropriate dressing size for the wound. The wound pad should overlap the wound margins by at least 2 cm. Do not cut the dressing.
  3. Remove the dressing from the peel pouch using an aseptic technique.
  4. Apply the dressing. Ensure that the green contact layer comes into direct contact with the complete wound surface to allow microorganisms to bind to the dressing.
  5. Fixate with an elastic bandage or skin friendly tape. Ensure the dressing is allowed to expand under the fixation.
  6. 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.
