Green Wound Healing

Non Antibiotic

Non Antiseptic

Antimicrobial Wound Treatment

• All wounds regardless of etiology, exudate level and

wound condition

• Fungal infections in skin folds and in-between toes.

Many areas of use

• Prophylactic on acute, chronic, traumatic and post

surgical wounds.

Creates conditions for the natural wound healing process to begin

Selectively reduces the bacterial load in all wounds

Sorbact® - how it works

The Sorbact®-method

Bacteria and fungus bind to surfaces via hydrophobic interaction.

When two hydrophobic particles comes in direct contact the bind together with the binding force of the surrounding water molecules

=Hydrophobic interaction

Water molecules

Common ulcer microorganisms

• Staph. aureus

• Pseudomonas

• E. coli

• Streptococcus

• Candida albicans

Hydrophobic propertiesHydrophobic = water-repellent

Hydrophobicity of micro-organisms

The Sorbact hydrophobic fabric

What makes Sorbact® so special?

Pathogenic microorganisms bind to the Sorbact surface and become inactivated.

The bound microorganisms are removed when the dressing is changed.

Sorbact uses the same binding process that bacteria and fungus use to bind to surfaces, hydrophobic interaction.

Sorbact applied directly on the wound surface.

Microbiological balance

Creates microbiological balance by not binding all microorganisms only the pathogenic – Creates conditions for the natural wound healing process

changes

Areas of Use; Sorbact Gel

• Primary dressing on dry to low exuding wounds.

• Can be used for prevention and treatment of all types of colonised to infected wounds.

• Can be combined with all Sorbact products.

Frequency of dressing changes

Recommended frequency of dressing changes

- Infected wounds: Initially once daily

- Collonized/Critically

colonized wounds: According to exudate level every 2 – 3 days

The frequency will be decreased according to wound status improvement

- ”Clean” wounds: 2 times/week or when

needed

Practical information Fungal infections

Easy to use

• Apply directly on the infected area

• Daily application until no signs of infection (Continue a few days after symptoms disappear)

• If fixation is needed use: bra, panties, socks, hypoallergenic tape.

Safe dual action

• Binds and inactivates fungus

• Prevents skin to skin contact
