Binds bacteria
Sorbact® Compress is a sterile wound dressing that binds bacteria and fungi. The unique Sorbact® surface binds bacteria from the wound, helping it to heal and preventing infection. Sorbact® Compress is a non-absorbent wound contact layer intended for use on surgical wounds or acute wounds. Combine with an absorbent, occlusive fixation dressing. It is important that the entire wound surface is covered by the green Sorbact® surface to achieve the best effect.
1
Clean the wound and dry the surrounding skin.
2
Open the packaging and apply the Sorbact® Compress without touching the dressing surface that will be in contact with the wound. The dressing can be unfolded and may overlap the wound margins if needed. Make sure that the product comes in direct contact with the complete wound surface to allow bacteria to bind to the dressing.
3
If the dressing is cut, use clean scissors. Do not tear the dressing. Discard any unused dressing.
4
Apply a secondary dressing appropriate for the exudate level such as an absorbent pad or gauze, and fixate.
5
The dressing change frequency depends on the condition of the wound and the exudate level. The dressing should not be left in place for more than 7 days.
Should the dressing adhere to the wound, moisten the dressing with water or saline solution to assist removal and to avoid disruption of the healing wound.
