BSN Cutimed Sorbact Wound Contact Layer

Cutimed Sorbact Wound Contact Layer Features

• Catches or binds bacteria and removes it from the wound bed versus killing it, like silver and other antimicrobial dressings
• This helps to keep the cell wall intact, allowing for natural healing and long-term prevention of infections, across the wound care continuum
• DACC is a highly hydrophobic fatty acid derivative, that wound bacteria find very attractive
• Bacteria become irreversibly bound to the DACC-coated dressing fibers, and to each other, so they are unable to move back to the wound bed
• Bacteria become inactive, preventing toxin release and replication

What is DACC Technology?

Quickly Binds Bacteria
Catches and Inactivates Bacteria

• DACC (dialkylcarbamoylchloride) is a highly hydrophobic fatty acid derivative, that wound bacteria find very attractive
• Bacteria become irreversibly bound to the DACC-coated dressing fibers, and to each other, so they are unable to move back to the wound bed
• Bacteria become inactive, preventing toxin release and replication

 

 

 

 

Faster bacteria removal promotes faster wound healing

• In the first 30 seconds, one square centimeter of Cutimed Sorbact binds up to 100,000 (105) wound bacteria
• After two hours, up to 100,000,000 (108) more microbes are bound
• Effectively binds MRSA and VRE

Creates Optimal Conditions for Wound Healing

• DACC Technology uses the physical property of hydrophobic interaction to promotebacteria binding just like oil droplets attach to each other in water.
• The bacterial pathogens are then removed with each dressing change, reducing theoverall bacterial load and creating optimal conditions for natural wound healing. 

DACC Technology Improves Healing Time

• Proven to Improve Healing Time by 40%
• Clinical evidence comparing wounds treated with silver and wounds treated by DACC Technology demonstrated a 40% reduction in healing time – 12 days vs. 20 days.

No Known Risk of Bacterial Resistance

• Bacterial microbes are becoming more resistant to silver impregnated dressings.
• The hydrophobic binding mode of action of DACC Technology means there will likely be no development of bacterial resistance.
• Without a limited duration of use, DACC Technology can be used throughout the healing process to prevent further infection.
