Dressings

A novel honey-based dressing for lightly to moderately exuding wounds. The dressing contains 80% Active Leptospermum Honey, can be used to cover a shallow wound or fill a deep wound (non-adhesive version only), and provides a moist environment conducive to wound healing. The adhesive version is specifically to be used as an all-in-one dressing, with no need for a secondary dressing to hold it in place. Active Leptospermum Honey has been shown to have several properties which assist in promoting an optimal healing environment. It has a low pH, and has been shown to help lower the overall wound pH, which is beneficial to chronic wounds. The honey is also highly osmotic, which assists in debridement and keeping the wound bed clean. This non-toxic dressing can be used as a cornerstone for wound bed preparation and throughout all the phases of wound healing.

A Hydrogel Colloidal Sheet with Active Leptospermum Honey. The gelling agent is contained within the dressing mass. The dressing contains 63% Active Leptospermum honey. As wound exudate is absorbed, the dressing -- which has a low pH and high osmolarity -- forms a gel. This assists in maintaining a moist environment for optimal wound healing, aids in autolytic debridement, and allows for non-traumatic removal.

A special type of honey indigenous to New Zealand, called Active Leptospermum (or Manuka) honey. Active Leptospermum Honey has been shown to have several properties which assist in promoting an optimal healing environment. It has a low pH, and has been shown to help lower the overall wound pH, which is beneficial to chronic wounds. The honey is also highly osmotic, which assists in debridement and keeping the wound bed clean. Medihoney® is indicated for use on lightly to moderately exuding wounds, or wounds that are difficult to manage due to their odd shape or placement on the body. This non-toxic dressing can be used as a cornerstone for wound bed preparation and throughout all the phases of wound healing.
