Sorbact Ribbon
Bacteria and fungi binding wound dressing
Reduces bioburden in superficial and deep wounds
Sorbact Ribbon is a DACC™-coated bacteria and fungi binding ribbon gauze, based on Sorbact Technology. Sorbact Ribbon prevents and treats wound infections[1]View reference information [2]View reference information and facilitates the wound healing process. It is suitable as a wound filler and allows passage of wound exudate into a secondary dressing. Sorbact Ribbon can also be placed in skin folds to treat fungal infections (intertrigo).[3]View reference information
Intended purpose
Sorbact Ribbon 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 Ribbon can be used on superficial and deep wounds such as cavity wounds and fistulas. Sorbact Ribbon is also intended to treat fungal infections in skin folds (intertrigo).[4]View reference information

How to use
For detailed product information, contraindications, precautions and warnings, please read the applicable Instructions for Use (IFU) prior to use.
Step 1
Prepare the wound and surrounding skin according to local clinical practice.
Step 2
Select an appropriate dressing size for the wound. The dressing may overlap the wound margins if needed.
Step 3
Remove the dressing from the peel pouch using an aseptic technique.
Step 4
If needed, cut across the dressing using an aseptic technique. Do not cut over the wound. Discard any unused dressing.
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 cavities or fistulas, avoid dense packing. Always leave a part of the dressing outside the cavity/fistula for easy removal. If the dressing is cut, always leave the cut end outside the wound to avoid residual threads.
Step 6
Apply a secondary dressing appropriate for the exudate level such as a foam dressing, absorbent pad or gelling fiber dressing, and fixate.
Step 7
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 wound bed and surrounding tissue.
Sorbact Ribbon can be used in conjunction with compression therapy.
Sorbact Ribbon is MRI safe. Sorbact Ribbon does not contain x-ray thread. Prior to radiation therapy, remove Sorbact Ribbon if placed in the radiation field. A new dressing can be applied following treatment.

Information on package leaflet
What is a package leaflet?
A package leaflet is an official document that summarizes the characteristics of a medical device product, how it works and how it should be used. Always read the package leaflet before using the product.

On the website, however, the new leaflet is published immediately, you can be sure that you will always find the latest information about your product here on the website.
