Description
SORBACT® Foam Gentle Border Dressing by BSN Medical is an innovative solution for effective wound management. This sterile, self-adhesive dressing is designed to address wounds that are clean, contaminated, colonized, or infected, particularly those with low to moderate exudate levels.
Sorbact® Technology
At the core of its functionality is the unique Sorbact® Technology, which binds bacteria and fungi without releasing chemically active substances into the wound. This feature helps maintain a cleaner wound environment, potentially reducing the risk of infection.
