Improved quality of life! ❤️ Let's talk about how Sorbact® dressings enhance patient comfort and quality of life. Why is it important?  Living with chronic wounds is both physically and psychologically painful. Many patients have to endure their pain for long periods, sometimes suffering for years. Furthermore, wound infections not only cause discomfort through odor and pain, but may also contribute to social isolation and delayed wound healing. How Sorbact® dressings help:  By reducing odor from the wound(1) and helping reduce pain during wear(2), Sorbact® dressings enhance patient comfort and overall well-being. Additionally, Sorbact dressings can be used for wounds at risk of infection to prevent infection from developing. It may also reduce the need for antibiotics(3).

Educate. Advocate. Act now. Is the theme of WHO World Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) Awareness Week 2024 highlighting the difference up to date education can make in the fight against AMR 🤝 Gain insights into the AMR problem, learn about: 💊 the threats it poses to wound care 🔍 how to recognize and diagnose wound infections 🦠 how to implement infection control measures in your practice by completing the free EWMA AMS e-learning course at: https://lnkd.in/gXCMR-s #woundcare #AMR #nursing #globalhealth

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the top public health threats and each year an estimated 5 million deaths* are linked to antibiotic resistant bacteria. 🦠 🌍 The problem of AMR is growing and is already the third largest cause of death worldwide, leading to three times more deaths than lung cancer. 💊 There is an urgent need to combat AMR through infection prevention methods and responsible antibiotic use.

Bacteria can’t resist Sorbact® – it’s the law of nature! 🦠  We’re kicking off our ‘Benefit by Sorbact®’ series by highlighting how Sorbact® Technology dressings are proven to bind and inhibit bacteria. Why is it important? Wound infections may lead to delayed wound healing. About 40% of chronic wounds develop a wound infection.(1) How Sorbact® dressings help: - Reduce the bioburden in wounds.(2,3) - Irreversibly bind and inhibit the growth of bound bacteria, confirmed in vitro.**(4)  - Proven to bind wound-related pathogens up to 7 days. Evidence presents an antibacterial effect mediated through binding, not by killing bacteria. Based on a purely physical mode of action, Sorbact® dressings safely remove bacteria to prevent and treat infection without releasing active agents into the wound. It’s truly the power of safe wound infection management. How do you integrate control of bioburden in your wound infection protocols? #antimicrobialstewardship #woundcare #infectionprevention Essity The fine print:  You may recognize us in your country as Cutimed® Sorbact® or Leukomed® Sorbact®  1.
