The IODOSORB Wound Dressing Sheet is an advanced, antimicrobial wound care product designed to promote healing in chronic, infected, and exuding wounds. Formulated with cadexomer iodine, this innovative dressing delivers broad-spectrum antimicrobial action while absorbing excess wound exudate and removing slough. By effectively reducing the bacterial load and creating a moist environment, IODOSORB supports faster, more efficient wound healing, making it a preferred choice for healthcare professionals managing complex wounds.

Key Features:

• Cadexomer Iodine Technology: The IODOSORB dressing sheet contains cadexomer iodine, a controlled-release antimicrobial agent that gradually releases iodine as the dressing absorbs wound exudate. This sustained antimicrobial action effectively reduces the bacterial load and protects against a wide range of pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, and biofilm.

• Exudate Management: The dressing sheet absorbs and retains excess wound exudate, helping to manage moisture levels in the wound. This reduces the risk of maceration (overhydration of surrounding skin) while maintaining an optimal environment for healing.

• Slough and Debris Removal: IODOSORB not only combats infection but also assists in wound debridement by softening and lifting slough and necrotic tissue from the wound bed. This cleaning action helps prepare the wound for further treatment, promoting a healthier wound healing process.

• Non-Adherent Design: The IODOSORB Wound Dressing Sheet is designed to remain non-adherent to the wound bed, which minimizes trauma and pain during dressing changes. It does not stick to delicate tissue, ensuring patient comfort during removal and reapplication.

• Color Indicator for Change: The dressing changes color from brown to white or grey as it absorbs exudate and releases iodine, providing a clear visual indication that it is time to replace the dressing.

Benefits:

• Powerful Antimicrobial Protection: The sustained release of iodine ensures continuous antimicrobial action throughout the wear time, helping to significantly reduce the risk of wound infection and controlling the growth of harmful microorganisms.

• Exudate and Moisture Control: The highly absorbent dressing sheet effectively manages wound fluid, creating a balanced, moist environment that is essential for optimal wound healing, while protecting the surrounding skin from damage due to excess moisture.

• Promotes Faster Healing: IODOSORB’s dual action of exudate absorption and antimicrobial protection helps promote faster wound closure by removing infection-causing bacteria and maintaining a clean, moisture-controlled environment for healthy tissue formation.

• Simple to Use: The non-adherent sheet is easy to apply and remove, making dressing changes less painful and time-consuming for both healthcare providers and patients. Its built-in color indicator simplifies wound monitoring.

Indications for Use:

The IODOSORB Wound Dressing Sheet is suitable for managing a variety of infected and exuding wounds, including:

• Chronic leg ulcers (venous and arterial)
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Pressure ulcers (stages II-IV)
• Post-surgical infected wounds
• Traumatic wounds (lacerations, abrasions)
• Infected cavity wounds
• Superficial burns

Application:

1. Preparation: Cleanse the wound thoroughly using a suitable wound cleanser or saline. Gently dry the surrounding skin to ensure optimal adhesion of any secondary dressing.
2. Application: Open the sterile package and apply the IODOSORB Wound Dressing Sheet directly to the wound. Cut or shape the sheet to fit the wound if necessary. Ensure the dressing covers the entire wound bed for full protection.
3. Secondary Dressing: Cover the IODOSORB sheet with an appropriate secondary dressing to manage exudate and maintain the dressing in place.
4. Dressing Change: The dressing should be replaced when it changes color from brown to white or grey, typically every 2-3 days, or sooner if exudate levels are high. Always monitor the wound for signs of infection or excessive exudate.

Contraindications:

• IODOSORB should not be used on dry wounds, patients with known sensitivity to iodine, or individuals with thyroid disorders.
• It should not be used in patients receiving radioiodine therapy.

Advantages Over Traditional Dressings:

• Prolonged Antimicrobial Activity: The controlled release of iodine offers extended antimicrobial protection compared to standard wound dressings.
• Debridement Capability: IODOSORB not only protects against infection but also actively aids in cleaning the wound bed, promoting healthier tissue regeneration.
• Efficient Fluid Management: It absorbs large amounts of exudate while maintaining moisture balance, providing a comprehensive solution for infected, exuding wounds.

The IODOSORB Wound Dressing Sheet is an essential tool for the effective management of infected and heavily exuding wounds. Combining the powerful antimicrobial action of cadexomer iodine with superior exudate management and slough removal, IODOSORB supports faster wound healing and minimizes the risk of infection. With its easy application and visual change indicator, it is a reliable and convenient solution for both healthcare professionals and patients, ensuring optimal care for chronic, complex wounds.
