Description

Sorbact Absorption Dressing is a sterile, single‑use absorbent wound dressing designed for superficial wounds with moderate to high exudate. It combines a green Sorbact wound contact layer (DACC‑coated), an absorbent core, and a white backing. The dressing absorbs and retains exudate to help reduce maceration while supporting a moist wound environment. It is compatible with compression therapy and is MRI safe. Do not cut the dressing.

Mode of Action

• Non‑biocidal, hydrophobic binding: no release of antimicrobial agents into the wound.
• Microorganisms physically bind to the DACC‑coated green surface and are removed intact at dressing change.
• Effective against common wound pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA), Streptococcus species, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans.

Indications

• Management of clean, contaminated, colonized, or infected superficial wounds with moderate to high exudate.
• Suitable wound types include surgical and traumatic wounds, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and venous/leg ulcers.

Contraindications

• No known contraindications.
• Do not use in patients with known hypersensitivity to any component of the dressing.

Warnings and Precautions

• Ensure the green contact layer is in direct contact with the entire wound surface.
• If adherence occurs, moisten or soak prior to removal to minimize trauma.
• Do not use fatty/greasy products (e.g., ointments or creams) in the wound bed; they can impair microorganism binding.
• Single use only; do not re‑use or re‑sterilize. Do not use if the sterile barrier/pouch is damaged. Do not cut the dressing.
• Remove before radiotherapy if in the radiation field; a new dressing may be applied after treatment.
• Requires appropriate fixation/secondary dressing.
• For superficial wounds only; not for cavity or undermined wounds.

Instructions for Use

1. Prepare the wound per local clinical practice.
2. Select a size so the wound pad overlaps wound margins by at least 2 cm.
3. Using aseptic technique, remove from the pouch.
4. Apply with the green side directly on the entire wound surface and secure with suitable fixation.
5. Change frequency depends on exudate level and wound/skin condition; may be left in place for up to 7 days if clinically appropriate.
