Cadexomer Powder with lodine
IODOSORB◊ powder is a sterile formulation of Cadexomer Iodine. When applied to the wound, it cleans it by absorbing fluids, removing pus and debris and forming a gel over the wound surface. As IODOSORB◊ swells, iodine is released, killing bacteria and changing colour.
IODOSORB◊ powder is indicated for the treatment of moist wounds including decubitus ulcers and chronic leg ulcers associated with venous disease.

Patient comfort
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.
