Cutimed® Sorbact® Hydroactive B

is a bacteria-binding, absorbent gel dressing with an adhesive border. Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive B combines a highly absorbent hydropolymer matrix with bacteria-binding Sorbact mesh (Sorbact acetate fabric coated with DACC™) and is covered by a semipermeable polyurethane film. The fixation border is made of a latex free adhesive hydrogel.

  • Treats and helps to prevent wound infections
  • Safe removal of bacteria, fungi and endotoxins 
  • Effective against most common resistant pathogens

Intended Purpose

Indications: Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive B is indicated for use in the management of low to moderate exuding partial to full thickness wounds (including clean, colonized, contaminated, or infected wounds): chronic wounds (venous and arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers and pressure ulcers), postoperative dehisced wounds and traumatic wounds.

Product benefits

Symbol of a shield representing infection prevention

Treats and helps to prevent wound infections

Sorbact Technology dressings reduce bioburden and support effective wound healing, with low risk of allergies1, 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 wound5. Development of bacterial or fungal resistance is not expected.

How to use

Usage instruction for Cutimed Hydroactive B
1. Clean the wound as usual.

2. Select an appropriate dressing according to wound size. For best results, make sure Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive B overlaps the wound margins by at least 2 cm.

3. Remove the protective film and apply the green adhesive side of the dressing to the wound.

4. Depending on the wound location it may be appropriate to apply additional dressing fixation.

5. Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive B should be changed as often as dictated by the wound condition.
As with all absorbent dressings, monitoring is required to ensure the dressing does not dry out and adhere to the wound. The dressing should be changed when it becomes cloudy or opaque from fluid absorption. At the latest after 4 days or if the exudate has reached 1 cm from the edge.

6. In wounds that show signs of clinical infection, a more frequent wound inspection is advised. In these cases, an appropriate systemic treatment should be considered.
