DACC ANTIMICROBIAL DRESSING
The dressing surface of Cutimed® Sorbact® is coated with
DACC, a highly hydrophobic fatty acid derivate which
wound pathogens find very attractive. When the dressing
is moist, wound bacteria and fungi are naturally drawn to
the hydrophobic surface. They become irreversibly bound
to the DACC-coated fibers, unable to move back to the
wound bed. The bound pathogens are removed with
each dressing change, which helps clean contaminated,
colonized and infected wounds by reducing the overall
bacterial load.
Traditional antimicrobial dressings use harmful chemicals
to kill bacteria or fungi, leaving behind bacterial cell debris
and endotoxins. This can significantly slow or disrupt
the healing cycle. Cutimed® Sorbact® uses no chemical
agents, only the physical property of hydrophobic
interaction, to safely remove bacteria without cell death
or negatively impacting the healing process.
