Iodosorb* dressings are sterile formulations of cadexomer iodine. When applied to the wound, they absorb fluids, removing exudate, pus and debris and form a gel over the wound surface. As they swell, iodine is released, killing bacteria and changing colour.
Iodosorb dressing contains 60% cadexomer iodine and 40% polyethylene glycol
