Cutimed Sorbact Ribbon Gauze

Cutimed Sorbact Ribbon Gauze Overview

Cutimed Sorbact Ribbon is an advanced wound care product designed to pack infected wounds to reduce pathogenic bacteria and fungi without the use of chemicals. Cutimed Sorbact conforms to the wound, making it easy to load a wound cavity in order to get access to microbes that are trapped and thus hindering the healing process. Its material structure is ideal for this type of environment. The tightly woven material attracts and binds to microbes using Dialkyl Carbomol Chloride (DACC) technology that grabs and effectively inactivates the bacteria. Chemicals can destroy bacteria that leave behind smell and residue, this method is void of chemicals and antibiotics so its wound odor is minimized. Another advantage is that Cutimed Sorbact doesn't stick to the wound bed, making dressing changes easy and painless.

How DACC Technology Works

Cutimed Sorbact effectively removes bacteria and fungi because of its specialized (DACC) coating, a hydrophobic wound layer. Since bacteria and fungi are also hydrophobic, it binds to the ribbon and is removed with every dressing change. This technology is truly simple and does not use chemicals, antibiotics, or antiseptic substances to eradicate harmful bacteria.
