Iodosorb Antimicrobial Wound Care Gel

Iodosorb Antimicrobial Wound Care Gel is an advanced wound care solution designed to effectively manage chronic, highly exuding wounds. Formulated with cadexomer iodine, this powerful antimicrobial gel provides a triple-action approach to wound healing: it kills bacteria, manages excess exudate, and debrides the wound bed. Iodosorb's unique bead matrix absorbs up to seven times its own weight in wound fluid, debris, and slough, creating an optimal moist healing environment. As the beads become saturated, they release a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that reduces the bacterial load for up to 72 hours. This process helps to prepare the wound bed, clearing away barriers to healing and promoting faster, more effective recovery.

Iodosorb is clinically proven to be effective for a variety of conditions, including venous ulcers, pressure ulcers (bed sores), and diabetic foot ulcers. Its color-change technology provides a clear visual indicator—the gel turns from a dark brown to a yellow/gray color when it's time for a dressing change, simplifying wound care management. Non-adhesive and easy to apply, Iodosorb gel is designed to minimize pain and trauma during dressing changes, making it a trusted choice for both healthcare professionals and at-home care.
