Product Information

Dressings that can be used from the start of the wound through to closure can help make wound management easier Second, Manuka honey contains a much higher concentration of methylglyoxal (MGO) than regular honey.

Once you do, repeat the same steps.

The results are nothing short of amazing. She doesn't even notice them on and applying and removing is a lot easier than I thought it would be." As wound fluid enters the dressing, the honey is released while the dressing absorbs and forms a gel We’ve created an FAQ for those new to wound care and MEDIHONEY. This article answers the following:

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®) MEDIHONEY comes in a variety of formulations, including gels, wound pastes, calcium alginate dressings, and calcium alginate dressing ropes. Let’s take a closer look at each product’s treatment indications: Promotes a constant outflow of lymph fluid helping to lift necrotic tissue from the wound environment Apply the appropriate MEDIHONEY® dressing to fit the wound. The MEDIHONEY® Calcium Alginate and Non-adhesive Honeycolloid can be cut to fit within the wound edges.

MEDIHONEY calcium alginate dressings can be safely worn for up to seven days. Change the dressing as soon as the secondary bandage reaches its absorbent capacity, or as prescribed by your loved one’s primary care physician. MEDIHONEY is different from regular honey in several ways. For one, it’s only produced by bees that pollinate the Manuka flower, a species of tea tree native to New Zealand. 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. Wounds can be challenging to manage due to a multitude of co-morbid and cascading factors8. These factors include necrotic tissue, bacterial imbalance, recurring physical trauma, and altered levels/composition of wound exudates. In all the long history of wound care, no period has seen as dramatic a change as the last decade. The new paradigm of moist wound healing has significantly improved outcomes and has helped clinicians make knowledge-based decisions affecting the healing process.His ears look great now and people can't believe the before and after pictures. Thank you so much EarBuddies! You have made a great change in my sons life!!" Keep in mind that it’s best that MEDIHONEY be on the skin for 12-24 hours at a time for maximum effectiveness. If you or your loved one is having a hard time keeping the dressing intact, soak a gauze dressing in the MEDIHONEY (or use the MEDIHONEY square dressing) and apply it directly on the wound, then top with an abdominal pad dressing. When using MEDIHONEY will I need any extra supplies? 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." Cleanse the wound and skin around the wound with sterile saline, sterile water, or other safe wound cleansers

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. Also know as Manuka honey, it is derived from the pollen and nectar of a specific Leptospermum species of plant in New Zealand Sterilized by gamma irradiation, destroying any bacterial spores without loss of product effectiveness 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.

Can be used around wound edges to protect the skin from irritation or breakdown caused by wound exudate If successful, an effective splinting programme could consign the surgical correction of all but the most severe ear deformities to the past."
