Cutimed^® Sorbact^® Gel

is a non-absorbent bacteria and fungi binding wound dressing, based on Sorbact^® Technology. It consists of a Sorbact^® DACC™-coated wound contact layer covered with a hydrogel containing carbomer and propylene glycol (10%). Cutimed Sorbact Gel hydrates and donates moisture to the wound bed and facilitates autolytic debridement.

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 Gel is intended for use in management of clean, contaminated, colonized or infected dry to exuding wounds, such as surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, burns, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and leg ulcers. It can be used on both superficial and deep wounds. For managing exudate, Cutimed Sorbact Gel should be used together with a moisture preserving secondary dressing appropriate for the exudate level.

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

Treats and helps to prevent 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 wound⁵. Development of bacterial or fungal resistance is not expected.

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.

Donates moisture to the wound bed

Cutimed Sorbact Gel has a high moisture-donation capacity, facilitating autolytic debridement⁸.

Hydration assists a moist wound environment and facilitates the natural wound healing process.

How to use

Image showing how to apply Cutimed® Sorbact® Gel

1. Prepare the wound and surrounding skin according to local clinical practice.

2. Select an appropriate dressing size.

3. Remove the dressing from the peel pouch using an aseptic technique.

4. If the dressing is cut, use an aseptic technique.

5. Apply the dressing. Ensure that the dressing comes into direct contact with the complete wound surface to allow microorganisms to bind to the dressing. The dressing should not overlap the surrounding skin. Avoid dense packing when used in deep wounds.

6. Apply a moisture preserving secondary dressing appropriate for the exudate level, such as foam dressing, absorbent pad or film dressing, and fixate.

7. 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.
