Odour control

Anabact

Pale yellow clear metronidazole gel for topical application, reducing pain, infection, discharge and odour. Contains 0.75% w/w gel (metronidazole).

Askina Carbosorb

Sterile dressing containing activated charcoal. Can be cut to size.

CarboFlex

Sterile, non-adhesive, multilayer dressing with a highly absorbent wound contact layer, a one-way, water-resistant film to delay strikethrough to the carbon layer, thereby prolonging its odour-adsorptive properties, an activated charcoal cloth, an absorbent pad for comfort and a water-resistant top layer

Cinesteam

Non-adhesive secondary dressing utilising cinnamon to eliminate unpleasant odour. An absorbent layer, together with a sachet containing cinnamon, provides a triple action anti-odour approach: it eliminates unpleasant odours, releases the pleasant, natural fragrance of cinnamon and absorbs excess exudate.

Clinisorb

Sterile activated charcoal cloth sandwiched between layers of nylon/viscose rayon cloth. Apply as a primary or secondary dressing. Exudate will reduce the dressing’s effectiveness. Can be cut to size.

Odolock
