Sorbact® Technology

Sorbact®  Technology effectively aids in infection management for patients across all ages. The dressing utilizes a physical mode of action that binds, inhibits, and safely removes hydrophobic bacteria. Evidence has shown an antimicrobial effect without the release of active substances, and therefore antimicrobial resistance is not expected.

Binds

  • The surface of Cutimed® Sorbact® has special characteristics and hydrophobic properties
  • Bacteria naturally bind and anchor to the green Sorbact® layer using a physical mode of action
  • Effective against most common resistant pathogens

Inhibits

  • Hydrophobic bacteria are irreversibly bound and growth is inhibited
  • No active substances are released into the wound
  • Due to the purely physical mode of action, antimicrobial resistance is not expected

Removes

  • Bound bacteria are safely removed supporting effective infection wound management
  • The bacterial load in the wound bed is reduced
  • Reduced bioburden supports natural wound healing
