Smith & Nephew Iodosorb Cadexomer Iodine Wound Gel Ointment

Smith & Nephew Iodosorb® Cadexomer Iodine Gel encourages healing by its dual action antimicrobial and desloughing properties. The broad spectrum antimicrobial action is provided by the sustained release of iodine and the desloughing action is provided by the unique cadexomer matrix. It creates an effective wound healing environment and is effective for the management of chronic exuding wounds, including infected wounds.

How Iodosorb Wound Gel Dressing Works?

• Biofilm Disruption: Research has shown that this gel is capable of physically breaking down mature biofilm. This process involves absorbing the biofilm into the dressing, thereby significantly decreasing the bacterial load housed within the biofilm matrix.

• Bioburden Reduction: IODOSORB gel has broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, meaning it can fight against a wide range of bacteria. This effectiveness lasts for up to 72 hours, even when the wound is exposed to new bacteria daily. This makes it more efficient in reducing the bioburden (the number of harmful microorganisms) and the risk of infection compared to standard wound care.
• Slough, Debris, and Bacteria Removal: The gel is effective in quickly removing slough (dead tissue), debris, and bacteria from the wound. This process helps prepare the wound bed for more effective healing, as it creates a cleaner environment for the healing process to occur.
