Cutimed Advanced Wound Dressings

Chronic and hard-to-heal wounds—venous leg ulcers, pressure injuries, surgical sites, diabetic foot ulcers—need dressings that manage exudate, control bacterial load, and protect fragile peri-wound skin. This collection brings together BSN Medical's Cutimed line: silicone foam dressings and the distinctive green Sorbact antimicrobial range trusted across clinical and home wound-care settings.

The Cutimed Sorbact dressings work differently from most antimicrobials. Rather than releasing agents into the wound, their DACC (Dialkylcarbamoyl chloride) coating physically binds bacteria and fungi, which are then removed with each dressing change—a mechanism free of chemical actives, making it a practical choice for infected or colonized wounds and for patients who need repeated changes. You'll find them in several formats to match wound type: the Sorbact gauze rectangles (2.8 x 3.5 in) and impregnated pads for flat wounds, the Sorbact ribbon (2 x 78.7 in) for packing cavities and tunneling wounds, and the Sorbact Gel Dressing (3 x 6 in) that adds hydrogel to donate moisture to dry or sloughy wound beds.

For moderate-to-heavily exuding wounds, the Cutimed Siltec B Foam Dressings pair an absorbent foam core with a gentle silicone contact layer and adhesive border. The silicone face lifts away without stripping skin or disturbing new tissue—an important detail for frail or elderly patients—while the film backing provides a bacterial and moisture barrier. The 4 x 4 inch and 6 x 6 inch sizes cover common wound dimensions, all sterile and ready to apply.

Choosing between them comes down to what the wound needs: Sorbact when bacterial burden is the concern, Siltec B when absorption and atraumatic removal lead. Many care plans rotate between the two as a wound progresses through healing stages.
