title: Safe, long-term management of bioburden that helps promote healing Evidence review of DACC technology.
abstract: Unlike common antimicrobial dressings, the Cutimed Sorbact range does not kill pathogens, but instead binds them to its surface, so they can be safely removed at dressing change. As a result, it can be used long term with minimal risk of side effects. This supplement describes the evidence base on the efficacy of DACC technology.
