How Absorbent Is the Dressing?
The Cutimed Siltec Sorbact dressing is designed to absorb moderate to high levels of exudite. This helps to protect the wound during healing as the highly absorbent material retains exudate even under comression. The fast absorption also helps to prevent maceration.
How Does the Sorbact Layer Reduce Infection?
The sacrum dressing features a Sorbant wound contact layer that binds bacteria and fungi to the dressing. This reduces microbial presence to help begin the healing process.
