Medihoney comes in a variety of forms – one of which is an adhesive dressing! This easy-to-use honeycolloid dressing utilizes medical-grade honey as its main active ingredient. This particular species of honey, Leptospermum, has been proven to provide many great benefits in the area of wound and burn care. Not only does it keep an antiseptic wound environment to prevent infection, but it also draws moisture from beneath to keep the wound lubricated and at an ideal pH level as it heals. This type of honey is free of pesticides, non-toxic and safe for use on many different kinds of wounds.

 

Honeycolloid Dressing Applications

  • To cover partial to full thickness wounds with light to moderate drainage
  • Ideal for Stage II/III Pressure Ulcers and skin tears that can be managed with an adhesive dressing

 

The Honeycolloid pad actually forms a gel as it warms up with body temperature and comes into contact with wound fluid for optimal wound protection and healing!

    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 keeping it moist
    • Hydrogen peroxide is produced by the enzyme glucose oxidase in honey, which 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
