Functional description

IODOSORB Ointment is a sterile dark brown ointment consisting of cadexomer (modified starch microbeads), polyethylene glycol, poloxamer and iodine. The cadexomer beads are biodegradable. IODOSORB Ointment will absorb excess exudate and slough from the wound bed, and kill bacteria at the wound surface. In doing this, it transforms into a soft moist gel.
