Helps Promote Wound Healing

• Pus and debris are removed effectively

• Iodosorb helps to promote a clean wound healing environment

• A change in colour indicates when Iodosorb should be changed

• Gel formed over the wound can help to facilitate moist healing

Fewer Dressing Changes

• Cadexomer iodine powder can absorb up to 6 times its weight in fluid to ensure effective presentation of the active iodine to the wound environment

Patient comfort

• Iodosorb powder assists the healing and treatment of chronic ulcers by reducing micro-biological load and maintaining a moist environment

• Iodosorb is non-adhesive which can reduce trauma when the product is removed and encourage patient compliance

• Iodosorb powder is indicated for the treatment of moist wounds including decubitus (pressure) ulcers and chronic leg ulcers associated with venous disease.
• Iodosorb reduces the bacterial count to facilitate desloughing and maintains a moist wound environment to promote healing.

Iodosorb powder contains 0.9% Iodine and must not be used in patients with known or suspected iodine sensitivity. 

    Warnings and Precautions

• Iodine is absorbed systemically especially when large wounds are treated.  This should be taken into consideration in patients undertaking thyroid function tests.

    Pregnancy

• Iodine can cross the placental barrier and is secreted into the milk.  Do not use Iodosorb in pregnant or lactating women. 

    Undesirable Effects 

• It has been reported that some patients experience a transient smarting sensation within the first hour after treatment.  This can be reduced if the wound surface is left moist before applying Iodosorb Powder.  Mild erythema, without sensitisation has been observed occasionally.  It has been observed occasionally that an adherent crust can form when Iodosorb powder is not changed with sufficent frequency.
