Can be used around wound edges to protect the skin from irritation or breakdown caused by wound exudate MEDIHONEY looks similar in appearance and texture to traditional store-bought honey, but it’s not a sweetener. Instead, it provides an all-natural way to treat open wounds, preventing gangrene and infection. Often, wounds that have progressed carry a malodorous smell. MEDIHONEY has also been shown to decrease odors that may accompany wounds. This is a phenomenal product & more people should know about it!! It's a shame US doctors don't know about this. This product will save so many children from having to get surgery and being teased about their ears."

During autolysis the body breaks down tissue or cells. A moist environment, created by ALH dressings, aids the body’s own process of moisturizing and re-hydrating, thus loosening and liquefying necrotic tissue. Promotes a constant outflow of lymph fluid helping to lift necrotic tissue from the wound environment Apply the MEDIHONEY gel or paste directly to the wound. If you’re using a calcium alginate dressing, use sterile scissors to resize it, and then gently apply the dressing to the wound bed. Protects at-risk skin from breakdown associated with incontinence and can be used under incontinence pads

This all natural and non-toxic honey dressing can be used safely in tunneled wounds or wounds with undermining Medihoney skin care products contain medical grade Antibacterial Honey. Advanced biomedical research has identified specific plants that produce honey with exceptional antibacterial activity. The antibacterial activity of honey differs according to the plant species and may vary enormously within any one species. Medihoney Antibacterial Honey™ is a standardised antibacterial honey, predominantly Leptospermum sp. selected for its broad range of antibacterial actions. Protect the skin around the wound to avoid maceration. Apply a skin protectant barrier wipe or barrier ointment. (An initial increase in exudates may occur as a result of the highly osmotic effect of MEDIHONEY®) If you care for a loved one with underlying health problems like diabetes or venous insufficiency, MEDIHONEY can reduce the risk of infections, support the removal of necrotic tissue, and encourage the body’s natural wound healing process.MEDIHONEY is a brand name wound and burn gel made from 100% Leptospermum (Manuka) honey. Manuka honey is unique in that it has antibacterial and bacterial resistant properties, meaning it prevents bacteria from building a tolerance to its beneficial effects. MEDIHONEY®, with Active Leptospermum Honey, (ALH) is the global leading medical-grade honey-based product line for the management of wounds and burns. Derived from the Leptospermum scoparium species of plant in New Zealand, these unique dressings contain plant-derived properties beneficial throughout all phases of the wound healing.

The osmotic effect constantly replenishes plasminogen at the surface of the wound. Plasminogen is then converted to plasmin which breaks the adhesion of necrotic tissue at the wound surface. The constant outflow of fluid helps to gently lift necrotic tissue. Thoroughly clean the wound with a saline solution. (Here’s a recipe from IntermountainHealthcare). Then, if necessary, apply a barrier cream around the edges of the wound. Barrier cream prevents skin breakdown and infection. When it’s time to change the dressing, thoroughly clean the wound with a saline solution. Once you do, repeat the same steps.ALH creates an osmotic effect, which occurs when the high sugar content of honey facilitates movement of fluid from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Lymph fluid is drawn from the deeper tissue to the wound surface. The constant flow of lymph fluid cleanses debris and lifts necrotic tissue from the wound.
