Description
The Cutimed Sorbion Sana Multi Star bends the atraumatic Sana construction into a round, lobed star for toes, heels and other contours, in a 4.5 in diameter size. Its perforated contact layer protects the wound bed while the superabsorbent core handles low to excessive exudate.
- Anatomical star shape – the lobed round profile is designed for contours of the body such as toes and heels.
- Atraumatic contact layer – the perforated film passes fluid to the core while limiting adherence to the wound bed.
- Either side down – both faces can be applied to the wound, simplifying placement on awkward sites.
Gentle Absorption, Shaped for the Body's Contours
Curved sites with fragile skin are the hardest dressing problem in the range, because the dressing must conform and let go at the same time. The star outline flexes around toes and heels while the Sana contact layer keeps its smooth, perforated face against the wound. Exudate from low to excessive levels passes through the perforations into the gel-forming core, which retains it away from the skin. Removal stays atraumatic, since the film offers ingrowing tissue few points of access. Wear begins with daily changes and can extend to seven days as the wound settles.
Features and Benefits
Shape and surface are the two design decisions here, and both are aimed at fragile, curved sites.
Shape and Contact
- Star-Shaped Profile: the special anatomical shape is designed for contours of the body, such as the toes or heels.
- Perforated Contact Film: the polyethylene layer's three-dimensional perforations steer fluid toward the core.
- Low Adherence Design: the smooth surface gives new tissue few access points, protecting the bed at removal.
Absorbent Core
- Superabsorbent Gel-Forming Core: the strongly water-retaining core absorbs low to excessive exudate and retains it as gel.
- Vertical Absorption: fluid is drawn into the dressing, which protects the surrounding skin against maceration.
- Wound Cleansing Effect: deposits are removed with the dressing, adding soft debridement to absorption.
Change Routine
- Both-Sides Application: either face can be placed on the wound, which helps on sites that are hard to reach.
- Daily Changes At First: the manufacturer recommends 24-hour changes initially, spacing out as conditions allow.
- Up To Seven Days: maximum wear depends on the clinical condition of the wound and the dressing's saturation.

Why Choose the Cutimed Sorbion Sana Multi Star?
Toes and heels combine curvature, movement and thin skin, and they defeat both flat pads and sticky contact layers. This star brings the gentle Sana face to exactly those sites, in the shape they need.
- Contour and care together – the lobed shape conforms while the contact layer stays gentle, solving both problems at once.
- Fragile skin protected – few ingrowth points mean changes do not tear at thin, tender sites.
- Full exudate range – low to excessive output is handled by the same superabsorbent core.
- Easy placement – either side applies, which matters when the site is a toe or a heel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it shaped like a star?
The lobed round shape is an anatomical design for contours of the body. It is especially suitable for sites such as the toes or heels, where flat dressings crease and lift.
Will it stick to the wound bed?
Its contact layer is built to prevent that, with a smooth perforated film that offers ingrowing tissue few points of access. Removal therefore stays atraumatic even on fragile skin.
How often should it be changed?
Start with a change every 24 hours, as the manufacturer recommends for the beginning of treatment. Changes can then space out to as long as seven days, and a completely soaked dressing should never be left in place.
Which side faces the wound?
The dressing can be applied to the wound with either side down. On a toe or heel, that flexibility makes positioning considerably easier.
What exudate levels does it handle?
It is intended for wounds with low to excessive exudate levels. The superabsorbent core takes up the fluid and gels it, whatever the volume within that range.
What fixation does it need?
Secure it with a film, medical tape, bandage or fixation dressing suited to the surrounding skin. Allow room for the core to expand as it absorbs, especially over joints that move.
