Description
The Cutimed Sorbion Sachet Multi Star folds a gel-forming superabsorbent core into a round, four-lobed star that settles onto toes, heels and other contours flat dressings bridge over. Two diameters, 3 in and 5.5 in, cover small rounded sites and larger curved surfaces, each in boxes of ten.
- Star shape – four lobes flex around toes, heels and joints instead of creasing across them.
- Either side down – both faces of the sachet can sit against the wound, so placement needs no orientation check.
- Gel-forming core – the superabsorbent centre takes up fluid and holds it as a gel that stays put under pressure.
A Round Dressing That Follows Toes, Heels and Curves
Contoured sites defeat square pads, which tent over the wound and leave channels where exudate escapes sideways. The star outline answers with lobes that spread and settle, keeping the absorbent core in contact across the whole surface. Fluid moves vertically into the core and gels there, which protects the surrounding skin from maceration during long wear. As deposits lift away with the dressing, changes also deliver a gentle cleansing effect to the wound bed. Wear runs up to seven days depending on saturation, and separate fixation holds the sachet in place.
Features and Benefits
One construction serves both diameters, from the fleece outer layer to the core.
Shape and Fit
- Four-Lobed Star Outline: the round, lobed profile is cut for contoured body parts such as toes and heels.
- Flexible and Conformable: the soft sachet flexes with the site instead of bridging over it.
- Two Diameters: a 3 in and a 5.5 in option cover small rounded wounds and broader curved surfaces.
Absorbent Core
- Gel-Forming Superabsorbent Core: the strongly water-retaining core absorbs moderate to excessive exudate and locks it into a gel.
- Vertical Absorption: fluid travels upward into the dressing rather than spreading toward the wound edges.
- High Retention: the gelled fluid stays inside the sachet, even when the site is compressed by footwear or bandaging.
Wear and Handling
- Both-Sides Application: either face can be applied to the wound, which keeps changes quick and simple.
- No Active Substances: the dressing contains no pharmacologically active ingredients and is free of binders and adhesives.
- Soft Debridement Effect: wound deposits adhere to the dressing and lift away at removal, supporting wound cleansing.

Why Choose the Cutimed Sorbion Sachet Multi Star?
Rounded, heavily draining sites are where flat pads fail first, lifting at the edges and leaking at the folds. The Multi Star keeps its core on the wound through movement, so wear time is set by saturation rather than by fit.
- Fits the contours – lobes settle over toes and heels that square dressings cover badly.
- Keeps fluid off the skin – vertical uptake and gel retention guard the periwound area through long wear.
- Faster changes – either-side application removes the orientation step from every change.
- Cleans as it absorbs – deposits leave with the dressing, adding soft debridement to each change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this dressing shaped like a star?
The four-lobed round outline is made for contoured body parts such as toes and heels. It settles onto curved surfaces where a square pad would tent, crease and leak.
Which side of the dressing goes on the wound?
Either side can be applied to the wound, because both faces of the fleece outer layer are wound-safe. That makes placement quick and removes any orientation check at change time.
How long can one dressing stay in place?
Wear time runs up to seven days, depending on the condition of the wound and how quickly the core saturates. Check the dressing as exudate levels change, and replace it once the gel core is full.
What holds the dressing in place?
The sachet carries no adhesive, so it is secured with a film, medical tape, a bandage or another suitable fixation dressing. Choose the fixation for the site, and allow room for the core to expand as it absorbs.
Which wounds is it intended for?
It is intended for wounds with moderate to excessive exudate, including pressure injuries, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and wounds healing by secondary intention. Oozing laparotomy wounds, exulcerating carcinomas and postoperative dehiscence are also within its stated use.
Does the dressing contain any medication?
No, it contains no pharmacologically active substances, and it is free of binders and adhesives. It manages exudate physically, by absorbing fluid and gelling it inside the core.
