Iodosorb Cadexometer Iodine Medicated Wound Ointment is a sterile formula that when applied to a wound directly will absorb fluid, remove exudate, debris and pus forming over the wound. The Iodine in the ointment allows it to kill bacteria within a wound, creating a clean wound environment and reducing chance of infection. It is ideal for reducing pain and complications when removing dressings, as the gel layer will ensure dressings don't stick to the wound.
