Medihoney Alginate Dressings

MEDIHONEY™ dressings provide a moist, occlusive environment conducive to optimal
wound healing. As wound exudate is absorbed, the alginate forms a gel, making the
dressings easy to remove without disrupting the wound bed.

Due to their versatility and lack of toxicity, MEDIHONEY™ dressings can be used in all
stages of wound healing, and can also be used as an important component of wound
bed preparation.

Actions:

Promotes a moist environment conducive to healing
Highly absorbent, for excellent exudate management
Cleanses and debrides due to its high osmolarity
Helps to lower the wound pH, for an optimal wound healing environment
Non-toxic, natural, and safe
Easy to use, easy to apply

Indications:
The dressings are indicated for the management of moderate to heavily exuding
wounds such as:

Diabetic foot ulcers
Leg ulcers (venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers and leg ulcers of mixed etiology)
Pressure ulcers / sores (partial and full thickness)
1st and 2nd degree partial thickness burns
Donor sites, and traumatic and surgical wounds

What is Active Manuka
(Leptospermum) Honey?

Honey produced by bees feeding upon
certain type of bushes (Manuka from New
Zealand and Jellybush from Australia) -
result in Leptospermum honeys that have
unique characteristics.

Leptospermum honeys are tested and
rated for their level of special
characteristics making them beneficial for
the management of wounds & burns. The
honey's activity level in the presence of
catalase, an enzyme found in wound fluid,
breaks down the active components in
most honeys. Only the Leptospermum
species has been shown to retain its
activity even in the presence of catalase.

Some batches show no activity, and are
rated at 0. Others show varying rates of
activity and are rated from 1+ to 12+ to
25+. Leptospermum honeys with a rating
of 12+ or higher are recommended for use
as wound & burn dressings.

The Leptospermum honey used in
MEDIHONEY dressings is rated at least 15+.
