Smith and Nephew Iodosorb Cadexomer Iodine Gel

Smith and Nephew Iodosorb Cadexomer Iodine Gel from HealthyKin.com is a sterile formulation of Cadexomer Iodine. When applied to the wound, Iodosorb cleans it by absorbing fluids, removing exudate, slough and debris and forming a gel over the wound surface. As the gel absorbs exudate, iodine is released, killing bacteria and changing color as the iodine is used up. A 3-in-1 mode of action kills bacteria, manages exudate and debrides the wound bed.
