This Cutimed Sorbact WCL Wound Contact Layer Dressing has been proven successful as a non-medicated treatment of colonized and infected wounds with microbe binding action. Instead of using chemically active agents, it employs a surprisingly simple physical principle to effectively bind and inactivate pathogenic bacteria and fungi; bacteria and/or fungi are attracted to the DACC-coated surface, through hydrophobic interaction, and become irreversibly bound to the dressing fibers. With every dressing change, the reduced bacterial load helps to create optimum conditions for the natural wound healing process.
Advantages: Effective against all common wound bacteria - even against MRSA and VRE; rapid action; reduces wound odor and wound pain; no development of bacterial resistance; no promotion of bacterial endotoxin release; can be used without hesitation during pregnancy and breast-feeding as well as on children
Indications: Venous leg ulcers; diabetic ulcers; pressure ulcers; arterial ulcers prior to revascularization; post op and dehisced surgical wounds; traumatic wounds; post excision of fistulas or abscess
