Bacteria- and fungi binding ribbon gauze
Reduces bioburden in cavities and fistulas
Sorbact® Ribbon Gauze is a bacteria- and fungi binding wound dressing, based on Sorbact® Technology, suitable for cavities and fistulas. It is suitable as a wound filler and allows the passage of wound exudate into a secondary dressing. The dressing helps reducing odor and pain and can improve healing. Sorbact® Ribbon Gauze can also be placed in skin folds to treat fungal infections (intertrigo).
Intended use
