Instructions for use

How to apply Sorbact Ribbon

  1. Person opens the inner packaging of a Sorbact Ribbon dressing

    Prepare the wound in accordance with local clinical practice. Choose the right size of dressing for the wound. The dressing may overlap the wound edges if necessary. Remove the dressing from the packaging using an aseptic technique. If the dressing needs to be cut, it must be cut across using an aseptic technique. Any remaining opened and unused parts of the dressing should be discarded.

  2. Person filling wound cavity with Sorbact Ribbon dressing using forceps

    Apply the dressing. Ensure it is in direct contact with the entire wound surface. Dress/fill the cavity or fistula. Avoid packing it too tightly. Always leave part of the dressing sticking out so that it can be easily removed. If the dressing needs to be cut to size, we recommend that the cut end is left outside the cavity/fistula to avoid any threads remaining in the wound.

  3. Cutimed Siltec Sorbact B dressing applied to a horse leg

    Apply a suitable secondary dressing.

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. For detailed product information, contraindications, precautions and warnings, please read the applicable Instructions for Use (IFU) prior to use.
