The power of safe wound infection management

Sorbact Technology effectively prevents and treats wound infection across all ages, from sensitive children to elderly. Developed with a physical mode of action, bacteria irreversibly bind to the DACC™-coated surface and are safely removed. Evidence presents an antibacterial effect without the release of active substances, and therefore antimicrobial resistance is not expected. Sorbact Technology dressings deliver powerful, safe and effective wound infection management for the advancement of patient well-being.

Bind

  • The DACC™-coated surface of Cutimed Sorbact has special characteristics and hydrophobic properties
  • Bacteria naturally bind and anchor to the unique Cutimed Sorbact surface
  • Also binds endotoxins that may impair wound healing*
* In vitro data
Image showing an anchor icon, which stands for binding bacteria.

Inhibit

  • Bacteria are irreversibly bound and growth is inhibited
  • Endotoxins are shown not to be released from the bacteria*
  • Antimicrobial resistance is not expected

* In vitro data
Image showing a knot icon, which stands for inhibit bacteria.

Remove

  • Bound bacteria, fungi and endotoxins are safely removed
  • The bacterial load in the wound bed is reduced
  • Reduced bioburden supports natural wound healing

No known antimicrobial resistance

Cutimed Sorbact is not only highly effective against common wound bacteria including MRSA and VRE4 but also targets fungi. With the Sorbact Technology mode of action, unlike certain antimicrobial substances that kill microbes, development of bacterial or fungal resistance is not expected, and it can be used for a prolonged period of time.
