Cutimed Sorbact Swabs 4cm x 6cm * 1 – BSN Medical

Cutimed Sorbact Swabs 4cm x 6cm by BSN Medical are sterile, bacteria-binding wound dressings designed to help manage wound bioburden and support a favorable healing environment. The swabs use innovative Sorbact technology, which physically binds bacteria and fungi through hydrophobic interactions, helping remove microorganisms from the wound during dressing changes.

Unlike antimicrobial dressings that rely on chemical agents, Cutimed Sorbact Swabs use a physical mode of action without releasing active antimicrobial substances into the wound. The green, flexible wound contact dressing is suitable for managing various acute and chronic wounds, including wounds with signs of infection or increased microbial burden.

The 4cm x 6cm sterile swab can be used on superficial wounds or unfolded for appropriate cavity wound management. It is designed for use with a suitable secondary dressing to maintain an appropriate moisture balance and manage wound exudate.
