Product features: Cutimed Siltec Sorbact The highly absorbent antimicrobial foam dressing with a silicone adhesive border combines the effective exudate management of Cutimed Siltec with the drug-free, bacteria-binding action of Cutimed Sorbact. Thanks to its purely physical mode of action, Cutimed Sorbact binds and removes bacteria without releasing antimicrobial agents (Sorbact technology): The special Sorbact coating gives the product strong hydrophobic (water-repellent) properties. Many pathogenic bacteria and fungi are naturally hydrophobic and therefore bind to the Sorbact fabric. Thus, with each dressing change, the number of germs in the wound is reduced, creating optimal conditions for the natural wound healing process. Advantages: No known mechanisms for the development of resistance in bacteria or fungi to Cutimed Sorbact. No killing of bacteria and fungi, therefore no additional release of endotoxins and thus no associated delay in healing. Effective exudate absorption through superabsorbent foam. Reduced maceration risk due to excellent vertical absorption. Unlimited duration of use during the course of therapy. Sorbact is a registered trademark of ABIGO medical AB.
