FAQs
How does the Sorbact method work?
The Sorbact method uses a unique mechanism to bind bacteria to the dressing, removing them from the wound environment and promoting healing.
What size dressing should I use?
The 10 cm x 10 cm size is a versatile option. Choose a dressing size that covers the entire wound bed, with a small overlap onto the surrounding skin.
How often should I change the dressing?
Change the dressing as directed by your healthcare professional, typically every 1 to 3 days or when the dressing is saturated.
Can I cut the dressing to fit the wound?
It's generally recommended not to cut the Cutimed Sorbact dressing, to maintain its effectiveness. Use the appropriate size for the wound.
Is this dressing suitable for infected wounds?
Cutimed Sorbact dressings can be used on infected wounds as part of a comprehensive wound management plan, but always consult with a healthcare professional.
Where should I store the dressings?
Store the dressings in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and out of reach of children.
What should I do if the dressing sticks to the wound?
If the dressing sticks, moisten it gently with sterile saline before removal to minimize trauma to the wound.
Troubleshooting
Dressing is not adhering properly.
Ensure the skin around the wound is clean and dry before application. Consider using a hypoallergenic adhesive tape or bandage to secure the dressing.
Wound is not improving.
Consult with a healthcare professional to assess the wound and ensure the dressing is appropriate for the wound type and severity.
