Description

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.


Indications

IODOSORB◊ powder is indicated for the treatment of moist wounds including decubitus ulcers and chronic leg ulcers associated with venous disease.


Features

IODOSORB◊ powder contains 100% cadexomer iodine powder


Benefits

Helps Promote Wound Healing

  • Pus and debris is 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.
  • Range of sizes to suit most wounds.

Patient comfort

  • IODOSORB◊ powder treats infection, which can reduce pain and improve quality of life.
  • IODOSORB◊ is non-adhesive which can reduce trauma when the product is removed and encourage patient compliance.

Contraindications / Precautions

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.
