Leukomed Sorbact is a cutting-edge post-surgical film dressing that operates through a purely physical mechanism to minimize bacterial colonization.
This dressing has shown proven efficacy in numerous clinical trials1,2
· Achieves a clinically significant 65% reduction in the relative risk of developing a surgical site infection after a caesarean section1
· Offers up to 57% cost savings in caesarean section treatments, based on the NHS cost model3
· Effectively decreases bacterial load in colonized or locally infected wounds4
According to new medical technology guidance from NICE, Leukomed Sorbact is recommended as an option for preventing surgical site infections (SSI) in wounds with low to moderate exudate following caesarean and vascular surgeries. It should be used alongside standard measures to help mitigate the risk of SSI*. For the complete guidance, please visit: www.nice.org.uk/guidance/mtg55
