• Effectively removes pus and debris
• Helps promote a clean wound-healing environment
• Gel formed over the wound helps to facilitate moist healing
• Accelerated healing rates can lead to earlier patient discharges

Patient comfort

• Non-adherent to wounds, reducing trauma at dressing changes and protecting delicate epithelium.
• Cadexomer iodine absorbs 6 to 8 times its own weight in fluid, limiting the number of dressing changes required.
• Helps reduce odour associated with heavily contaminated wounds.

• For the treatment of chronic leg ulcers.

• Should not be used in patients with know or suspected iodine sensitivity, Hashimoto's thyroiditis or prior history of Graves Disease, or in the case of non-toxic nodular goitre.
• Patients with a past history of any thyroid disorder are more susceptible to alteration in thyroid metabolism with chronic Iodosorb therapy.
• Iodine may be absorbed systemically especially when large wounds are treated.
• In endemic goitre there have been isolated reports of hyperthyroidism associated with Iodosorb. 
• Iodine may potentially interact with lithium, sulphafurazoles and sulphonylureas therefore administration is not recommended.
• Should not be used pregnant or lactating women.
• Adherent crust may form when the dressing is changed with significant frequency.
• Use Iodosorb Powder for very moist wounds.
