Cutimed Sorbact Wound Contact Layer is a hydrophobic wound dressing that binds bacteria using Sorbact Technology. The green contact layer allows wound exudate to pass through to a secondary dressing and build a non-adherent interface between the wound and the absorbent secondary dressing. This dressing supports wound healing by effectively managing moisture

Features & Benefits:

• For use in infection dressings, reduce bioburden and support effective wound healing, with no known contraindications and low risk of allergy
• Dressings inhibit the growth of most common resistant pathogens
• Safe removal dressings irreversibly bind and remove hydrophobic bacteria without releasing active agents in the wound
• Dressings can be cut to any size or shape, suitable for many wound types

Indications: Management of exudating partial- to full-thickness wounds

• Postoperative wounds
• Traumatic wounds
• Shallow cavity wounds
• Pressure injuries
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Venous leg ulcers

Directions for use:

• Prepare the wound and surrounding skin according to local clinical protocols
• Choose an appropriate dressing size, overlapping wound margins if necessary
• Remove the dressing from the pouch using aseptic technique
• When cutting the dressing, use an aseptic technique and discard any open, unused portions
• Ensure direct contact with the wound surface for effective hydrophobic binding of microorganisms
• To line or fill a cavity wound, gently unfold and fluff one or more dressings to avoid dense packing
• Apply the appropriate secondary dressing
• Change the dressing according to exudate levels and wound condition. If clinically appropriate, the dressing may remain in place for up to 7 days

How to remove: If the dressing adheres to the wound, moisten or soak it to facilitate removal and prevent disruption of healing tissue.
