Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Have a question we haven't answered? Reach out on WhatsApp — we usually reply the same business day.

What is the difference between Sorbalgon® and Sorbalgon® Ag?
Sorbalgon® Ag contains silver for antimicrobial action. Sorbalgon® (without silver) is for wounds where bioburden control is not the primary concern.
Can it be used on dry wounds?
No. Sorbalgon® requires exudate to activate gel formation. For dry or lightly exuding wounds, consider a hydrogel-based dressing or contact us for a recommendation.
Does it require a secondary dressing?
Yes. Use an absorbent secondary dressing such as Zetuvit® Plus or PermaFoam® to manage exudate transfer.
How often should it be changed?
Every 1–3 days depending on exudate level. Maximum wear time 7 days.
