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.
