Iodosorb Powder 3g - Promotes Wound Healing (1 sachet 3g) Antimicrobial Iodine Wound Care Dressing for Infection Control & Ulcer Healing

SMITH NEPHEW. Helps promote wound healing. Fewer dressing changes needed. Kills micro-organisms in the wound site. Wound fluid and exudate are absorbed into the cadexomer beads of the Cadexomer Iodine, allowing the iodine to be released slowly. When wound fluid and exudate are absorbed in the Cadexomer bead, it causes the molecule to expand, cross-links break, and iodine is released into the wound bed environment: the beads will swell resulting in the formation of a demonstrable gel. The presence of exudate and the consequent swelling of the beads results in the cross-linked bonds of the cadexomer matrix breaking and the iodine being released into the surrounding wound environment. When the iodine is released, the amount of iodine released will be to a level such that the concentration of iodine in the dressing and the wound environment reach an equilibrium. The equilibrium will remain and no further iodine will be released until the balance is disturbed. Once the iodine in the surroun
