How it works

Reduces bioburden in dry to low exuding wounds

Sorbact Surgical Dressing is a bacteria and fungi binding wound dressing, based on Sorbact Technology. It consists of a Sorbact DACC™-coated wound contact layer placed on an absorbent pad and a transparent backing film with an acrylic adhesive. The shower- and bacteria-proof backing film protects against external contamination and allows excess fluid to evaporate. Sorbact Surgical Dressing prevents and treats wound infections[1]View reference information and facilitates the wound healing process.

Intended purpose: Sorbact Surgical Dressing is intended for use in management of clean, contaminated, colonized or infected dry to low exuding wounds, such as surgical wounds and traumatic wounds.

  1. Bacteria-binding surface

    The unique Sorbact surface binds bacteria from the wound, helping it to heal and preventing infection.

  2. Waterproof membrane

    A thin, self-adhesive film that follows the contours of the skin. The material ensures the plaster stays firmly in place, prevents moisture from entering the wound, and allows your skin to breathe.

  3. Absorbent pad
