Cutimed Sorbact Ribbon Gauze

Cutimed Sorbact Ribbon Gauze is an impregnated cotton gauze for wound filling and packing. Ideal for acute and chronic wounds including contaminated, colonized or infected wounds. Effective against all wound pathogens including MRSA and VRE.

Traditional antimicrobial dressings use harmful chemicals to kill bacteria or fungi, leaving behind bacterial cell debris and endotoxins. This can significantly slow or disrupt the healing cycle. Cutimed Sorbact uses no chemical agents, only the physical property of hydrophobic interaction, to safely remove bacteria without cell death or negatively impacting the healing process.
