Description

Iodosorb Ointment – Cadexomer Iodine, 10g X 4

IODOSORB ointment is a unique and highly absorbent formulation, helping to manage exudate and disinfect wounds. The ointment is effective at absorbing moisture, which can help to speed up the healing process. IODOSORB ointment is also non-irritating and latex free, making it a safe choice for those with sensitive skin.

Benefits of Iodosorb Ointment

IODOSORB absorbs exudate and acts as a wound disinfectant

IODOSORB helps wound bed preparation and promotes an environment conducive to healing:

  • Capable of absorbing 6 times its own weight in wound exudate
  • Cadexomer beads swell as they absorb exudate, filling cavities and maintaining close contact to the wound -environment
  • Helps to remove exudate, pus, and debris from the wound

How IODOSORB ointment works

On contact with the wound exudate, cadexomer iodine ointment absorbs fluid, resulting in the formation of a gel over the wound surface.

The formed gel possesses chromatographic properties and acts as an inverter column. Exudate, pus and debris are removed from the wound surface into the gel matrix.

In vitro, the absorption of .uid increases the pore size of the carrier base and iodine held within the matrix – in the elemental state – is progressively released against the concentration gradient.
