Sorbact® Surgical Dressing

Bacteria- and fungi binding dressing

Reduces bioburden in dry to low exuding wounds

Sorbact® Surgical Dressing is a bacteria- and fungi binding wound dressing, based on Sorbact® Technology, for dry to low exuding wounds. It absorbs and retains exudate and enables a moist wound environment. The waterproof backing film provides protection against external contamination and allows excess fluid to evaporate.
