Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive B

Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive B combines the unique Sorbact principle with flexible exudate management. It binds germs based on the principle of hydrophobic interaction and does not require the use of chemical antimicrobial substances: 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 tissue. Thus, with each dressing change, the number of germs in the wound is reduced, creating optimal conditions for the natural wound healing process. The hydrogel matrix of Cutimed Sorbact Hydroactive B also keeps the wound environment moist and promotes autolytic debridement in fibrin-covered and necrotic wounds.

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.
• Unlimited duration of use during the course of therapy
• promotes autolytic debridement
