Iodosorb* is a range of Cadexomer Iodine based products, available in two presentations.
Iodosorb removes barriers to healing by its dual action antimicrobial and desloughing properties. The broad spectrum antimicrobial action is provided by the sustained release of iodine and the desloughing action is provided by the unique cadexomer matrix.
By effectively removing the barriers of bacteria, slough and debris and excess exudate, Iodosorb has been shown to accelerate wound healing in leg ulcers and is effective for the treatment of infection in chronic exuding wounds.
