Innovating to prevent infections

Can wound care be effective without traditional antimicrobial agents? At Essity, we say yes. Our SORBACT® technology uses a unique bacteria-binding method to physically remove bacteria and fungi from wounds, reducing the need for antibiotics and lowering the risk of AMR. Our Cutimed® and Leukomed® solutions further create optimal healing environments that help reduce infections and minimize the need for antibiotic treatments.

Strategies for better protection

How can we prevent skin-related infections before they start? Our approach includes moisture management solutions from TENA® that help maintain skin health and resilience. By keeping the skin intact and protected, we lower the chances of needing antibiotics in the first place.

Sustainability and spreading knowledge

In a world that demands sustainable healthcare, how do we balance progress with environmental responsibility? Our response is embedded in our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy. We focus our R&D on non-chemical, sustainable solutions and collaborate with healthcare professionals and researchers to stay ahead in AMR prevention. Education is also essential—we provide training for healthcare professionals and lead public awareness initiatives that promote better hygiene and infection control. By merging innovation, sustainability, and awareness, we contribute to a safer, healthier world for everyone.
