Cutimed Sorbact Swab 7x9cm (1 Swabs) is an antimicrobial wound dressing that helps bind and remove bacteria to support natural healing. Its hydrophobic coating is ideal for managing infected, contaminated, or high-risk wounds gently and effectively.
Cutimed Sorbact Swabs are hydrophobic antimicrobial wound dressings coated with Sorbact technology – a clinically proven bacteria-binding mechanism that removes pathogens without releasing active substances.
Unlike traditional antimicrobial dressings, Cutimed Sorbact does not rely on chemical agents. Instead, it physically binds bacteria, fungi, and microorganisms to the dressing surface under moist wound conditions, helping to create a cleaner environment that promotes natural wound healing.
The swabs can be used folded or unfolded, depending on wound depth and exudate level, making them ideal for versatile wound management in both hospital and home settings.
Sorbact technology uses a hydrophobic interaction principle – bacteria and fungi are naturally hydrophobic, so they adhere to the specially treated dressing surface. When the dressing is removed, the harmful microorganisms are lifted away with it, reducing the bacterial load and lowering infection risk without contributing to antimicrobial resistance.
Cutimed Sorbact Swabs can be used as a primary dressing for a wide range of wound types, including:
Contaminated or colonised wounds
Infected wounds (superficial or deep)
Postoperative or dehisced wounds
Traumatic wounds and abrasions
Leg ulcers – venous, arterial, or diabetic
Pressure ulcers
Fungal infections – including in the groin, skin folds, or between toes and fingers
Suitable for use in both acute and chronic wound care.
Clean the wound according to standard clinical practice.
Select the appropriate size of Sorbact Swab and apply directly to the wound bed.
The swab can be used folded or unfolded depending on wound depth.
Cover with a secondary absorbent dressing or fixation as needed.
Change daily or as directed by a clinician, depending on exudate level and wound condition.
For infected or heavily exuding wounds, more frequent changes may be required initially.

How is Cutimed Sorbact different from silver or iodine dressings?
Unlike antimicrobial dressings that rely on chemicals or silver ions, Cutimed Sorbact works through a physical binding mechanism, meaning there’s no cytotoxicity or resistance risk.
Can it be used on diabetic ulcers?
Yes. It’s suitable for diabetic foot ulcers, provided the wound is exuding and properly assessed by a clinician.
Can I use an ointment underneath Sorbact Swabs?
No. Ointments and creams interfere with the hydrophobic action – apply to clean skin only.
How often should I change the dressing?
Typically every 24-48 hours, or as directed by a healthcare professional based on wound exudate.
Is Cutimed Sorbact safe for long-term use?
Yes. The dressing contains no active chemicals or preservatives, making it safe for prolonged use under medical supervision.
