Sorbsan Surgical
Dressings Sorbsan
Surgical Dressings are
made from the calcium
salt of alginic acid,
prepared as a textile
fibre, and presented as
a loose `rope' or packing
for cavities, a ribbon
for narrow wounds or
sinuses, and a flat
non-woven pad for
application to larger
open wounds. When in
contact with serum,
wound exudate, or
solutions containing
sodium ions, the
insoluble calcium
alginate is partially
converted to the soluble
sodium salt, and a
hydrophilic gel is
produced, which overlays
the wound and provides a
micro-environment that is
believed to facilitate
wound healing. Sorbsan
Surgical Dressings may be
applied to exuding
lesions including leg
ulcers, pressure areas,
donor sites, and most
other granulating wounds
but for deeper cavity
wounds and sinuses, the
packing and ribbon forms
are generally preferred.
The dressing also appears
to be of value as an
adjunct to the systemic
treatment of infected or
malodorous wounds and for
the management of painful
wounds when removal of
other more traditional
dressings causes
unacceptable levels of
pain or trauma.
Directions Sorbsan
Surgical Dressing is
placed onto the surface
of the wound and covered
with a sterile secondary
dressing held in place
with surgical tape or a
bandage as appropriate.
The nature of the
secondary dressing will
be governed by the
condition of the wound.
If large quantities of
exudate are anticipated,
a simple absorbent
dressing pad may be
required; but as the
wound heals and less
exudate is produced, a
thinner pad bearing a
plastic film of low
adherence may help to
conserve moisture and
prevent the wound drying
out too quickly. Because
the alginate fibre reacts
with sodium ions to form
a soluble gel, the
dressing may be removed
by irrigation with
sterile normal saline.
This may be accomplished
without causing either
damage to the wound or
pain to the patient. It
has been reported that a
small percentage of
patients experience a
mild `drawing' or
`burning' sensation
immediately after the
application of an
alginate dressing to a
dry wound bed. This
sensation, which is
usually transient, is
thought to be due to the
hydrophilic nature of the
dressing causing
temporary localised
drying of the surface of
the wound. This
discomfort may generally
be prevented by
moistening the surface of
the wound with a small
quantity of sterile
normal saline prior to
the application of the
dressing.

Sorbsan Plus Surgical
Dressings Sorbsan Plus
Surgical Dressings
consist of a layer of
alginate fibre bonded on
to an absorbent viscose
pad which in turn is
backed with a pink
viscose/polyester layer
to indicate the outer
surface of the dressing.
When in contact with
serum, wound exudate,
or solutions containing
sodium ions, the

Plus Surgical Dressings
have the same general
indications as the
regular Sorbsan Surgical

areas, but is
particularly indicated
for heavily exuding
wounds. Directions
Sorbsan Plus Surgical
Dressings are applied to
the wound and held in
place with tape or a
suitable bandage.
Secondary dressings are
not usually required
because of the extra
absorbency imparted by
the integral absorbent
pad. It has been reported

of patients experience a
mild `drawing' or

with a small quantity of
sterile normal saline
immediately prior to the
application of the
dressing. The interval
between dressing changes
will depend entirely upon
the state of the wound.
When applied to heavily
exuding or sloughy
wounds, Sorbsan Plus
Surgical Dressing may
need replacing daily at
the beginning of
treatment but as healing
progresses and the amount
of exudate decreases,
the interval between
changes may be extended
to two or three days.

Sorbsan Ribon Sorbsan
Ribbon fully conforms to
the shape of the cavity,
unlike one-piece removal
dressings. It is gentle
on removal, as the soft
amorphous gel formed
following absorption of
exudate disperses when
the wound is irrigated
with saline at dressing
change. The pack also
contains a sterile
plastic measuring probe.

Sorbsan Surgical
Dressings Sorbsan
Surgical Dressings are
made from the calcium
salt of alginic acid,
prepared as a textile
fibre, and presented as
a loose `rope' or packing
for cavities, a ribbon
for narrow wounds or
sinuses, and a flat
non-woven pad for
application to larger
open wounds. When in
contact with serum,
wound exudate, or
solutions containing
sodium ions, the
insoluble calcium
alginate is partially
converted to the soluble
sodium salt, and a
hydrophilic gel is
produced, which overlays
the wound and provides a
micro-environment that is
believed to facilitate
wound healing. Sorbsan
Surgical Dressings may be
applied to exuding
lesions including leg
ulcers, pressure areas,
donor sites, and most
other granulating wounds
but for deeper cavity
wounds and sinuses, the
packing and ribbon forms
are generally preferred.
The dressing also appears
to be of value as an
adjunct to the systemic
treatment of infected or
malodorous wounds and for
the management of painful
wounds when removal of
other more traditional
dressings causes
unacceptable levels of
pain or trauma.
Directions Sorbsan
Surgical Dressing is
placed onto the surface
of the wound and covered
with a sterile secondary
dressing held in place
with surgical tape or a
bandage as appropriate.
The nature of the
secondary dressing will
be governed by the
condition of the wound.
If large quantities of
exudate are anticipated,
a simple absorbent
dressing pad may be
required; but as the
wound heals and less
exudate is produced, a
thinner pad bearing a
plastic film of low
adherence may help to
conserve moisture and
prevent the wound drying
out too quickly. Because
the alginate fibre reacts
with sodium ions to form
a soluble gel, the
dressing may be removed
by irrigation with
sterile normal saline.
This may be accomplished
without causing either
damage to the wound or
pain to the patient. It
has been reported that a
small percentage of
patients experience a
mild `drawing' or
`burning' sensation
immediately after the
application of an
alginate dressing to a
dry wound bed. This
sensation, which is
usually transient, is
thought to be due to the
hydrophilic nature of the
dressing causing
temporary localised
drying of the surface of
the wound. This
discomfort may generally
be prevented by
moistening the surface of
the wound with a small
quantity of sterile
normal saline prior to
the application of the
dressing.
