Suprasorb® X + PHMB Pro
Antimicrobial HydroBalance Wound Dressing
Antimicrobial HydroBalance bio-cellulose wound dressings/packing ropes aid wound healing by donating moisture to and absorbing exudate from lightly to moderately exuding, superficial or deep wounds at risk of infection or infected wounds and inhibition of microbial activity.
Suprasorb X + PHMB Pro reduces the microbial load and protects against its re-establishment.
Broad antimicrobial activity spectrum, also against MRSA and VRE*
*based on in-vitro data
Advantages:
Depending on the wound status, the unique structure of the biocellulose either releases moisture to the wound or absorbs excess exudate.
In vitro, a very rapid and almost complete release of PHMB from the wound dressing was shown after 24 h*
Increase in quality of life due to pain reduction
Wound rehabilitation - supports debridement
(autolytic debridement)
The elastic and stable structure allows it to conform readily to any type or depth of wound, making it particularly suitable for areas of the body which are difficult to dress.
Suprasorb X + PHMB Pro reduces the microbial load and protects against its re-establishment.

Intended purpose
Suprasorb X + PHMB Pro Antimicrobial HydroBalance wound dressings / packing rope aid wound healing or reduction of the wound area of wounds at risk of infection or infected wounds.
Properties
- moisture can be donated to the wound or excess exudate absorbed
- creation of a moist wound environment
- atraumatic dressing changes
- easy to conform to the wound’s particular shape and depth
- especially suitable for areas of the body which are difficult to dress
- the moist environment with a cooling effect is perceived by patients as pleasant and pain-relieving
- antimicrobial action against a broad spectrum of pathogens, such as MRSA and VRE*)
*) Pathogen spectrum detected in vitro, see first paragraph of Instructions for Use.
To note
- When treating infected wounds, the wound dressing should not be the only therapeutic measure used, but rather should be supplemented by drug therapy at the discretion of the treating doctor in accordance with local clinical protocols.
The continuation of treatment must be decided upon by a healthcare professional if any of the following symptoms should occur:
- change in colour and/or odour of the wound
- stagnant wound healing
- clinical signs of infection
Dressing change interval:
- The intervals at which Suprasorb X + PHMB Pro Antimicrobial HydroBalance wound dressings / packing rope should be replaced and the duration of treatment are determined by the treating physicians depending on the condition of the wound.
Advice
- Should the dressing or packing rope dry out, there must be adequate rehydration, with an exposure time of at least 10 minutes, before removal.
