The Cutimed Siltec Sorbact Dressing is covered by a semipermeable and highly breathable polyurethane film. The fixation border has a silicone coating, that minimises trauma and pain during dressing changes. The outer film is water-repellent, yet permeable to oxygen and vapour.

Uses

The Cutimed Siltec Sorbact Dressing is indicated for contaminated, colonised or infected wounds with moderate to high exudate levels, such as chronic wounds (venous and arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and pressure ulcers), postoperative dehisced wounds and traumatic wounds; after excision of fistulae and abscesses.

Application

Clean the wound according to treatment protocol.

Select an appropriate dressing for the wound size. For best results, the Cutimed Siltec Sorbact Dressings should overlap the wound margins by at least 2 cm.

Remove the protective film and apply the green side of the dressing to the wound.

Depending on the wound location it may be appropriate to apply additional dressing fixation.

Cutimed Siltec Sorbact Dressings should be changed as often as necessary, dictated by the wound condition. As with all absorbent dressings, monitoring is required to ensure the dressing does not dry out and adhere to the wound. The dressing should be changed when saturation of wound fluid becomes visible. In wounds that show signs of clinical infection, a more frequent wound inspection is advised. In these cases, an appropriate systemic treatment should also be considered.
