How Cadomer Ointment Works

Cadexomer is a starch-based polymer that absorbs wound exudate and debris. It slowly releases iodine, providing broad-spectrum antiseptic action and helping reduce bacterial load and odour, thereby supporting wound healing.

Dosage & Directions

For external use only. Clean the wound and apply a thin layer (about 2–3 mm) of ointment to cover the wound bed; cover with a suitable dressing. Change dressing and reapply as directed (often once daily or when the dressing becomes saturated/colour fades). Do not use for more than advised by a clinician.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
