How does this alginate dressing work?

As wound fluid enters the dressing, the honey is released while the dressing absorbs and forms a gel. The honey will continue to keep the wound moist, provide the best possible pH level for healing and protect the wound against a wide variety of infection-causing bacteria. Best of all, Medihoney alginates can be used the same way as a typical calcium alginate or any other gelling fiber dressing  – so you’re getting all-natural, non-toxic protection without having to change the way you normally do things. Join the many healthcare professionals around the globe that are using Medihoney dressings to protect their patients as they heal.

Medihoney Alginate Applications

  • To cover and/or fill partial to full thickness wounds with moderate to heavy drainage
  • Used in the same fashion as a typical calcium alginate or other gelling fiber dressing

What is Leptospermum Honey?

 

  • The most studied type of honey for the management of wounds and burns
  • Derived from the pollen and nectar of specific Leptospermum species of plant in New Zealand and Australia
  • Unique in that it maintains its effectiveness even in the presence of wound fluid
  • The only species of honey that has been shown in randomized controlled studies to help wounds – that have stalled under first-line treatment – to progress towards healing
  •  

    How does medical-grade honey work?

    • The osmotic pull of Medihoney draws lymph from deeper tissues through wound, constantly bathing wound bed
    • Hydrogen peroxide is produced by the enzyme glucose oxidase in honey – contributes to its antibacterial activity
    • Outflow of lymph fluid helps remove devitalized tissue from the wound bed
    • The pH level (near 3.5) improves the wound healing environment

    **It has been shown that reducing the pH of a wound will help to modulate harmful proteases and improve oxygen diffusion
