Description: MediHoney Wound & Burn Dressing Gel Overview Medihoney Wound and Burn Dressing Gel by Integra Lifesciences (formerly Derma Sciences) is a honey-based gel wound dressing that is made from a blend of Leptospermum honey (also known as manuka honey) along with natural vegetable esters. This combination creates a honey gel that is thicker than traditional MediHoney Paste, which means it sticks to the wound bed more easily making it easier to apply. This Wound Dressing is made to treat superficial to full-thickness wounds, including ulcers, partial-thickness first and second degree burns, traumatic wounds, surgical wounds, necrotic tissue, and skin graft sites. It is also an effective choice for hard to heal wounds, such as tunneling, undermined, chronic, or stalled wounds. In addition, it is medical-grade as it is completely sterilized to reduce the risk of infection. The wound and burn dressing is also all-natural while non-toxic, which makes it safe to use for patients of any age. Finally, it may be used from the start of advanced wound care treatment through to wound closure, which keeps wound management an uncomplicated, no sweat process.What Does MediHoney Do for a Wound?Due to its Leptospermum honey dressing content, MediHoney has many wound healing benefits. It has antibacterial, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Its acidic properties lower the pH levels in the wound and in doing so lowers protease levels and encourages healing. It also assists the body-repairing peptides and proteins that help us heal by blocking damaging enzymes. In addition, it is low in moisture and high in sugar. Due to this fact (and unlike antibiotics), it draws moisture, toxins, and debris out of the wound and dehydrates bacteria to kill it. A balanced moisture level is still provided at the wound bed for moist healing followed by a speedy recovery. It also helps debride the wound, which means that it helps remove dead tissue from the wound to help revitalize the wounded area to allow new tissue to develope. In comparison to other similar products, Leptospermum honey has been shown to speed up the healing process significantly during patient recovery.What is Active Leptospermum Honey?Honey has been used in places like Egypt for centuries due to its healing properties. It was only recently that researchers have backed up this medicinal folk knowledge with scientific research. Leptospermum honey (also known as Manuka honey) is a specific kind of nectar that is derived from the Leptospermum tea tree found in New Zealand and Australia. Due to a high concentration of germ and virus-combating hydrogen peroxide and methylglyoxal (MGO), this honey is more potent than typical honey found in Europe and the Americas. As a result, the antibiotic properties found in honey and that are conducive to the healing of wounds are increased in Leptospermum honey. In some cases, Leptospermum was found to attack bacterial colonies that form unhealthy biofilm and infection. Once biofilm appears, it is typically considered untreatable, so this is of particular interest to scientists studying the effects of this kind of honey. As a bonus, it also appears to be bacteria resistant, which means bacteria doesn't appear to build a tolerance against Leptospermum honey's antibacterial nature as it does with antibiotics.Features & BenefitsAll-NaturalMade with Active Leptospermum HoneyThickened Honey for Better AdhesionIdeal for Superficial to Full-Thickness WoundsGreat Option for Stalled or Chronic WoundsAnti-InflammatoryAntibacterialAntioxidant AgentHigh Osmotic PotentialEasy Dressing Changes that Don't Harm the WoundCleanses the Wound BedLowers Wound pH LevelsProvides Pain-Free Autolytic DebridementPulls Fluids Out of the WoundRemoves Wound DebrisRemoves Unhealthy, Dying TissueHeals Wounds Significantly Faster than Conventional DressingsReduces OdorHelps Balance MoistureHelps Maintain a Moist Wound EnvironmentCan Be Used From Beginning to End of the Healing ProcessAntibiotic/Pesticide-FreeSterileNon-ToxicCan Be Used for Soreness or Cracking Caused by Breast-FeedingCan Be Used by Patients of Any Age Who Will Find This Product Useful?Users looking for the following may find this product beneficial:An all-natural wound care optionFor superficial to full-thickness woundsIs effective for hard to heal wounds such as undermined, tunneling, stalled, or chronic woundsCan be used throughout the entire care processIs free of latex and other allergy-causing materials commonly used in wound care
