NPWT WouNd filler
NPWT WouNd filler?Why Sorbact®
In general wound management there is a wide range of wound dressings to choose from to get the
best result. In Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT), the options for wound filler are very limited.
Therefore it is time to introduce a new one - Sorbact® Negative Pressure Wound Filler. We did not feel
the need to invent something new, we simply listened to our customers and adapted Sorbact® for
NPWT application.
1. Treat the wound according to local clinical practice.
2. Clean and dry periwound skin.
3. Remove the Sorbact® NPWT Wound Filler from the
pack using an aseptic technique.
4. Unfold and moisten Sorbact® NPWT Wound Filler with sterile saline.
5. Loosely fill the wound cavity. Make sure that the wound filler is in direct contact with
the wound surface. Do not pack densely. Apply Sorbact® NPWT Wound Filler in its
complete form, cut excess material as required. Application of multiple cut pieces
increases the risk of retention of the product in the wound and is not recommended.
6. Proceed as directed for the NPWT system used.
• Binds bacteria and fungi.1
• Great wound fluid removal.2,3
• Fast granulation formation.2,3
• Effective pressure distribution.2,3
• Limited tissue ingrowth for easy and painless removal.3,4
• Easy to fill and adapt to the wound cavity.2
Sorbact® NPWT Wound Filler is a hydrophobic cellulose acetate fabric that conforms to
the wound bed providing negative pressure distribution without in-growth of granulation
tissue. Sorbact® NPWT Wound Filler binds pathogenic microorganisms, creates a wound
healing environment that promotes the wound healing process by removing exudate and
infectious material, affecting blood flow in the wound bed, stimulating wound contraction
and microdeformation, accelerating granulation tissue formation and thereby preparing
the wound bed for closure.
