Antiseptic Gel for Wound Treatment Smith & Nephew Iodosorb Cadexomer Iodine set of 4 pieces of 10 g each

Innovative technology for debridement and infection control

The sterile antiseptic gel Iodosorb by Smith & Nephew is a high-tech product for the comprehensive treatment of chronic exuding wounds. The basis of the product is cadexomer iodine — a unique matrix of modified starch microspheres containing active iodine. Upon contact with the wound surface, the gel begins to absorb excess exudate, pus, and cellular debris while releasing iodine in a strictly dosed manner. This provides a prolonged antimicrobial effect, destroying biofilms and a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms, including resistant strains of bacteria, fungi, and yeasts.

Mechanism of healing and surface cleaning

The action of the Iodosorb gel is aimed at effectively cleaning the wound bed, which is a critically important stage for stimulating granulation. As the liquid is absorbed, the cadexomer microspheres swell, forming a soft gel that maintains the moist environment necessary for physiological healing. The product effectively removes necrotic tissue and plaque (debridement), reduces the intensity of unpleasant odors, and lowers the risk of cross-infection. The set of four 10 g tubes allows for course treatment, ensuring the sterility of each new portion of the product during regular dressings.

Recommendations for selection and compatibility

This product is recommended for the treatment of venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, infected pressure sores, and other chronic wounds with high or moderate exudation. When selecting the product, it is important to consider the volume of the wound cavity: one gram of gel can absorb up to six milliliters of fluid. Iodosorb is compatible with most types of secondary dressings (absorbent sponges, hydrocolloids) that secure the gel in place and retain the collected exudate. The color of the gel serves as an indicator of its activity: a change in color from dark brown to light yellow or white signals the need to change the dressing and the depletion of the active iodine supply.

Method of use

Before applying the gel, the wound should be thoroughly cleaned with sterile saline or water. The gel is applied directly to the wound surface in a layer about 3 mm thick. After that, the area is covered with a suitable secondary dressing that secures the medication. The frequency of dressing changes depends on the amount of exudate produced but should not exceed three times a week. During each dressing change, the gel residues are easily removed by rinsing the wound with sterile fluid without damaging the young granulations. The maximum single dose of the product should not exceed 50 g, and the total dose per week should not exceed 150 g.
