ABIGO Medical expands the Sorbact® range of infection preventive dressings with the Foam Gentle Border dressing

The new Sorbact® Foam Gentle Border dressing further extends the use of Sorbact® Technology with an all-in-one dressing with gentle silicone adhesive border, especially suitable for patients with sensitive or vulnerable skin. The Sorbact® range of microbial binding dressings help preventing infections as well as managing already infected and hard-to-heal wounds. Infected wounds mean longer healing times, leading to unnecessary suffering for the patient and increased costs for the community.

Sorbact® Foam Gentle Border is an atraumatic all-in-one dressing that reduces bioburden in a wide range of wounds. It consists of a green Sorbact® wound contact layer, polyurethane foam, soft silicone adhesive borders and a vapor permeable polyurethane backing film. Sorbact® Foam Gentle Border is intended for use in management of clean, colonized, contaminated or infected wounds with moderate exudate levels, such as surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers and foot and leg ulcers.

The skin-friendly soft silicone adhesive borders make Sorbact® Foam Gentle Border dressing especially suitable in patients with sensitive or vulnerable skin, i.e. elderly patients, patients who are sensitive to common plasters or surgical tape, patients with thin skin due to long-term use of systemic corticosteroids, and children who are experiencing pain when removing a patch.

Sorbact® Foam Gentle Border is based on the Sorbact® Technology with a wound contact surface more attractive for microorganisms than the wound bed. The microorganisms bind irreversibly to Sorbact®, and are removed at dressing change. Sorbact® Foam Gentle Border can be used prophylactically to prevent infections in different types of wounds and is available in three different sizes.

– Adding the Foam Gentle Border dressing to the Sorbact® product range is a response to customer and patient needs, says Mattias Andrup, Medical Affairs Director at ABIGO Medical. We are delighted to be able to offer this gentle all-in-one dressing combined with the Sorbact® Technology advantage.

Sorbact® Foam Gentle Border was launched in conjunction with the 26th conference of European Wound Management Association, EWMA 2016, 11–13 May in Bremen, Germany.
