| Cadexomer iodine |
In contact with wound exudate cadexomer iodine absorbs fluid, removes exudate, pus and debris from the wound surface. Iodine is physically immobilised within the matrix of the dry cadexomer iodine and is slowly released in an active form during uptake of wound fluid. This mechanism of release provides antibacterial activity both at the wound surface and within the formed gel. |
