Cutimed Sorbact Ribbon Gauze prevents and treats wound infections, provides safe removal of bacteria, fungi and endotoxins and is effective against the most common resistant pathogens. The dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days.

Uses
Cutimed Sorbact Ribbon Gauze is intended for use in the management of clean, contaminated, colonized or infected exuding wounds, such as surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and leg ulcers. It can be used on superficial and deep wounds such as cavity wounds and fistulas, and can also be used to treat fungal infections in skin folds (intertrigo).
Application
- Prepare the wound and surrounding skin according to local clinical practice
- Select an appropriate dressing size for the wound. The dressing may overlap the wound margins if needed
- Remove the dressing from the peel pouch using an aseptic technique
- If needed, cut across the dressing using an aseptic technique. Do not cut over the wound. Discard any unused dressing
- Apply the dressing. Ensure that the dressing comes into direct contact with the complete wound surface to allow microorganisms to bind to the dressing. In cavities or fistulas, avoid dense packing. Always leave a part of the dressing outside the cavity/fistula for easy removal. If the dressing is cut, always leave the cut end outside the wound to avoid residual threads
- Apply a secondary dressing appropriate for the exudate level such as a foam dressing, absorbent pad or gelling fiber dressing, and fixate
- The dressing change frequency depends on exudate levels and the overall condition of the wound and surrounding skin. Should the clinical condition allow, the dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days
How to remove
- If the dressing adheres to the wound, gently moisten it with saline or sterile water before removal. This will help release the dressing easily and avoid disrupting the wound bed and surrounding tissue
