Sorbact® Compress

Bacteria- and fungi binding wound contact layer

Reduces bioburden in superficial and cavity wounds

A non-absorbent bacteria- and fungi binding wound contact layer, based on Sorbact® Technology, that allows passage of wound exudate into a secondary dressing. Sorbact® Compress prevents and treats wound infections and facilitates the wound healing process. The dressing can be used in compression therapy and in conjunction with NPWT. The dressing helps reducing odor and pain, and can improve wound healing and decrease wound size.

Intended use

Sorbact® Compress is intended for use in management of clean, contaminated, colonized or infected exuding wounds, such as surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and leg ulcers. Sorbact® Compress can be used on both superficial and deep wounds.

Step 5

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 deep wounds, unfold and fluff up one or more dressings and line the wound. Avoid dense packing. The dressing can also be used as a liner.

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.


Should the dressing adhere to the wound, moisten the dressing to assist removal and to avoid disruption of the healing wound.
