Description

Cutimed Sorbact Ribbon Gauzes

Cutimed Sorbact Ribbon Gauzes is an advanced antimicrobial ribbon gauze dressing developed by Essity. Designed with innovative Sorbact® Technology, it provides safe and effective wound care by binding and removing bacteria, fungi, and endotoxins from the wound bed—without the release of any chemically active agents. This makes it an excellent choice for veterinary professionals looking to prevent and manage wound infections while supporting optimal healing in animals.

Key Features

• Prevents and treats wound infection:
  The DACC™-coated Sorbact® fibres bind harmful microorganisms on contact, safely reducing wound bioburden and helping prevent infection without releasing chemicals or antibiotics.

• Safe removal of bacteria, fungi and endotoxins:
  The dressing irreversibly binds microorganisms, allowing them to be lifted away upon removal—minimising trauma to the wound bed and surrounding tissue.

• Effective against resistant pathogens:
  Proven efficacy against the Top 5 WHO-listed resistant pathogens, ensuring broad-spectrum protection even in complex or chronic wound cases.

• Cut to fit:
  The ribbon can be trimmed to any size or shape, providing flexibility for different wound types, including narrow cavities, tunnels and fistulas.

• Gentle and easy to remove:
  By leaving one end outside the wound cavity, the dressing can be removed easily in one piece, reducing discomfort for the patient.

Ideal for filling cavities and deep wounds, Cutimed Sorbact Ribbon allows exudate to pass freely into a secondary dressing, maintaining a balanced moist environment for effective healing. It can also be placed in skin folds to manage fungal infections such as intertrigo, making it versatile for a wide range of veterinary wound management applications.

Intended Use

Cutimed Sorbact Ribbon is suitable for the management of clean, contaminated, colonised or infected exuding wounds, including:

• Surgical wounds

• Traumatic wounds

• Pressure ulcers

• Diabetic and venous leg ulcers

• Deep cavity wounds and fistulas

• Fungal infections in skin folds (intertrigo)

Application & Wear Time

Cutimed Sorbact Ribbon should be used in conjunction with an appropriate secondary dressing to absorb exudate. If clinically appropriate, it can be left in place for up to 7 days between dressing changes.

Why Choose Cutimed® Sorbact® Technology?

Sorbact® dressings reduce bioburden and support effective wound healing with no known contraindications and a low risk of allergies. Unlike conventional antimicrobial dressings, Sorbact® relies on a purely physical mode of action, meaning it does not contribute to microbial resistance.

Perfect For:
Veterinary professionals managing wounds prone to infection, post-surgical sites, and chronic wound care cases requiring gentle yet effective antimicrobial control.
