Cutimed Sorbact Ribbon Gauzes – Advanced Antimicrobial Ribbon Dressing

Cutimed Sorbact Ribbon Gauzes is an advanced antimicrobial ribbon gauze dressing from Essity, designed for the safe management of infection-prone or infected wounds. Powered by Sorbact® Technology, the DACC™-coated fibres bind and remove bacteria, fungi, and endotoxins from the wound bed without releasing chemically active agents. This purely physical mode of action helps reduce bioburden while maintaining an optimal environment for healing.

Key Features

• Prevents and treats wound infection: DACC™-coated Sorbact® fibres bind harmful microorganisms on contact, helping to reduce bioburden without antibiotics.
• Safe removal of bacteria, fungi and endotoxins: Microorganisms are irreversibly bound and lifted away on dressing removal, minimising trauma to the wound and peri-wound skin.
• Effective against resistant pathogens: Demonstrated activity against WHO priority resistant organisms, supporting broad-spectrum antimicrobial management.
• Cut to fit: Flexible ribbon can be trimmed to the required size/shape for narrow cavities, tunnels and fistulas.
• Gentle & easy to remove: Leave one end outside the cavity to enable atraumatic, one-piece removal and improved patient comfort.
• Supports moisture balance: Allows exudate to pass freely into an appropriate secondary dressing to help maintain a moist wound environment.
• Versatile use: Can also be placed in skin folds to assist in managing fungal issues such as intertrigo.

Intended Use

Indicated for the management of clean, contaminated, colonised or infected exuding wounds, including:

• Surgical and traumatic wounds
• Pressure ulcers
• Diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers
• Deep cavity wounds, tunnels and fistulas
• Fungal infections in skin folds (intertrigo)

Application & Wear Time

• Use in conjunction with a suitable secondary absorbent dressing to manage exudate.
• Cut to the required size; gently pack the cavity without overfilling and leave a visible tail for removal.
• If clinically appropriate, the dressing may be left in place for up to 7 days, or changed earlier based on exudate levels and local protocols.

Why Choose Sorbact® Technology?

• Physical mode of action: Binds microorganisms without releasing chemical antimicrobials.
• No known contra-indications related to antimicrobial agents: Low risk of sensitisation; suitable for repeated use as directed by a clinician.
• Resistance stewardship: Does not promote antimicrobial resistance through chemical release.

Perfect For

• Veterinary professionals managing wounds at risk of infection
• Post-surgical sites requiring gentle antimicrobial control
• Chronic wound care where atraumatic dressing changes are important
