Cutimed Sorbact Swab 4cm x 6cm (Folded) 11cm x 16cm (Unfolded)Cutimed Sorbact is a unique range of antimicrobial wound dressings, promoting natural wound healing. Using a unique mode of action, which works without a chemically active agent, they are effective in all unclean, colonised and infected wounds. Cutimed Sorbact uses the physical principle of hydrophobic interaction. The dressings are coated with a fatty acid derivative (DACC) which gives them their highly hydrophobic properties. In the moist environment of an infected wound, bacteria are attracted to the dressing and become irreversibly bound to it. Removing the dressing therefore also removes the 'captured' bacteria which cannot multiply or 'escape' once bound to the dressing fibres. Cutimed Sorbact can also bind harmful toxins released by bacteria. With Cutimed Sorbact dressings there is no risk of bacteria developing resistance in the way they might with other antimicrobial dressings and antibiotics. There is also no cytotoxicity, no disturbance in wound inspection and no contra-indications - the dressing can be used safely during pregnancy, breastfeeding and on children. UOM: 40/BX.
