Iodosorb® Antimicrobial Wound Gel — 40 g Tube

Chronic and infected wounds present a dual challenge: managing bacterial burden while simultaneously preparing the wound bed for healing. Iodosorb® Antimicrobial Wound Gel from Smith & Nephew addresses both in a single formulation. Based on cadexomer iodine technology, Iodosorb releases iodine slowly and continuously as it absorbs wound exudate — delivering sustained antimicrobial activity directly at the wound site without the cytotoxicity concerns associated with traditional iodine solutions. The 40 g tube is ideal for larger wounds, higher-exudate wound beds, or facilities managing multiple applications per dressing change.

Key Features

• Cadexomer Iodine Technology — Slow-release iodine delivery provides sustained, broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria including MRSA, Pseudomonas, and biofilm-forming organisms
• Dual-Action Formula — Simultaneously manages infection and desloughs the wound bed, removing loose slough, debris, and exudate to create an optimal healing environment
• Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial — Effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria commonly found in chronic and infected wounds
• Desloughing & Fluid Management — Absorbs excess exudate while breaking down and removing necrotic tissue and slough from the wound surface
• Prepares the Wound Bed — Supports wound bed preparation in highly exuding chronic wounds, stalled wounds, and wounds with signs of local infection
• 40 g Tube — Larger volume format suited for bigger wound beds, deep wounds, or multi-application use; reduces per-application cost compared to the 10 g tube
• Gel Formulation — Conforms to irregular wound shapes and cavities; easy to apply and remove at dressing changes
• Sterile — Single-use sterile tube for safe, aseptic application

Clinical Applications

• Chronic wounds with signs of local infection or critical colonization
• Venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and pressure injuries with slough or biofilm
• Highly exuding wounds requiring simultaneous antimicrobial and exudate management
• Wounds stalled in the inflammatory phase requiring wound bed preparation
• Larger wound beds where the 10 g tube is insufficient for full coverage
• Post-debridement wound management to reduce bacterial load
