Effective Absorption + Infection Binding for the Sacral Area
Cutimed Siltec Sorbact B Sacrum is a sterile, bacteria- and fungi-binding foam dressing specifically designed to manage wounds in the sacral area. It combines Sorbact® Technology with a superabsorbent foam core and silicone adhesive border, offering both infection control and high fluid retention in one dressing.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Hydrophobic Microbe Binding — The Sorbact® DACC-coated contact layer binds bacteria and fungi physically, without releasing active chemicals.
-
Superabsorbent Foam Core — Absorbs and retains exudate, including viscous drainage, reducing the risk of leakage and maceration in the sacral region.
-
Silicone Adhesive Border — Gentle on surrounding skin, supports secure fixation and easier removal.
-
Breathable, Waterproof Backing Film — Protects the wound from external contamination while allowing moisture vapor escape.
-
Extended Wear Capability — Can remain in place for up to 7 days when wound conditions allow.
-
Anatomical Sacrum Design — Shaped to conform to the sacral area, ensuring better fit and comfort in that region.
Indications & Appropriate Use
Use this dressing on superficial wounds in the sacral region that are low to high exuding and may be clean, contaminated, colonised or infected. Typical applications include:
-
Pressure ulcers (sacral area)
-
Traumatic or surgical wounds near the sacrum
-
Wounds requiring both fluid management and microbial control
How to Apply & Remove
-
Clean the wound and surrounding skin and ensure the area is dry.
-
Select a dressing size that overlaps the wound edges by at least 1 cm. Do not cut the silicone-bordered portion.
-
Remove the protective liner and apply the dressing so the Sorbact layer contacts the wound bed fully, avoiding stretching.
-
Secure with secondary fixation (tape, bandage) if needed.
-
Monitor exudate and change the dressing when saturated or as clinically indicated.
-
To remove, gently lift one edge—the silicone border and smooth contact surface help minimize trauma.
