How it works

Three layers that protect against dirt and fluids, prevent infections and allow your skin to breathe

Sorbact Secure is designed according to a three-layer principle. The three layers protect the wound, prevent infections, and ensure that the plaster stays firmly in place, even when you are training or showering. The plaster’s unique bacteria-binding surface contains no antiseptic substances, making it suitable for children as well as women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

  1. Bacteria-binding surface

    The unique Sorbact surface binds bacteria from the wound, helping it to heal and preventing infection.

  2. Waterproof membrane

    A thin, self-adhesive film that follows the contours of the skin. The material ensures the plaster stays firmly in place, prevents moisture from entering the wound, and allows your skin to breathe.

  3. Absorbent pad
