Sorbsan
Creed Health
Description
Natural calcium alginate dressing constructed of loose fibers made from seaweed. Forming an amorphous gel when in contact with exudate, allows the dressing to maximise contact with the wound bed, reducing the risk of untreated gaps. Sorbsan fibres totally disperse upon irrigation minimising the potential for foreign body reaction.
Indications
Following toe-nail avulsions, pressure ulcers, traumatic wounds, donor and graft sites
Contraindications
Sensitivity to components
