  • Title: Evaluating Cutimed Sorbact: using a case study approach.
    Author: Powell G.
    Journal: Br J Nurs; ; 18(15):S30, S32-6. PubMed ID: 19717999.
    Abstract:
    This article uses a case study approach to demonstrate good clinical outcomes using a bacterial binding dressing range on a variety of difficult wounds. A case study approach can demonstrate a clinician's perspective on the practicalities of dressing choice in practice. All wounds, whether acute or chronic, offer pathogenic micro-organisms the opportunity to flourish - this can result in slow healing. Antimicrobial dressings use active ingredients but the Cutimed Sorbact range is a bacterial binding wound dressing that offers an alternative approach to the management of bio-burden. All dressings have a cost implication and holistic wound assessment is the key to accurate diagnosis and treatment, as well as directing the practitioner to an appropriate management strategy.
