Cutimed Sorbion Sachet XL is a sterile, hydroactive, gel-forming superabsorbent wound dressing. It features a highly absorbent core that retains large volumes of wound exudate and an outer hypoallergenic polypropylene fleece layer. Both sides of the dressing can be applied to the wound. The product contains no pharmacologically active substances and is free from binders and adhesives. It is particularly suitable for the treatment of extensive exuding wounds such as those on the upper and lower legs, thorax, abdomen, or forearm. Common applications include wounds healing by secondary intention, oozing laparotomy wounds, exulcerating carcinomas, and postoperative wound dehiscence.
