Description

Iodosorb* dressings are sterile formulations of cadexomer iodine. When applied to the wound, they absorb fluids, removing exudate, pus and debris and form a gel over the wound surface. As they swell, iodine is released, killing bacteria and changing colour.

• Helps Promote Wound Healing: Pus and debris are removed effectively. Iodosorb helps to promote a clean wound healing environment. A change in colour indicates when Iodosorb should be changed. Gel formed over the wound helps to facilitate moist healing. Accelerated healing rates of chronic leg ulcers can lead to earlier patient discharges.
• Fewer Dressing Changes
  Iodosorb dressings contain cadexomer iodine which can absorb up to 6 times its weight in fluid. Range of sizes to suit most wound sizes
• Patient comfort
  Iodosorb dressings treat infection and associated pain is reduced which can improve quality of life. Iodosorb is non-adhesive which can reduce trauma at dressing changes and encourage patient compliance.
