Sterile Iodosorb Ointment paste (10gr)
IODOSORB is a sterile paste based on iodized cadexomer, designed to promote healing of chronic wounds through its dual antimicrobial and debridement action. Its high absorption capacity helps manage exudate while reducing bacterial load for an environment conducive to healing.

Features:
- Sterile cadexomer iodine paste: composed of modified starch microspheres, polyethylene glycol, poloxamer and iodine.
- Dual action: broad-spectrum antimicrobial effect combined with effective debridement properties.
- High absorption: capable of absorbing up to 7 times its weight in exudate, promoting moisture balance.
- Bacterial load reduction: continuous antimicrobial activity up to 72 hours through sustained iodine release.
- Effective debridement: helps eliminate excess fibrin, debris and bacteria by transforming the paste into a moist gel.
- Biofilm disruption: prevents and disrupts mature biofilms present in chronic wounds (efficacy proven in vitro and in vivo).
- Healing support: creates a clean and controlled environment, eliminating obstacles to tissue regeneration.
- Biodegradable: cadexomer microspheres degrade naturally, facilitating wound care.
