Antibacterical Honey
APINATE DRESSING
ANTIBACTERIAL DRESSING
MEDIHONEY
CHARACTERISTICS
- Antibacterial Manuka Leptospermum Honey
- Calcium alginate fabric
- Protects delicate fabrics
INDICATIONS
- leg / foot ulcers
- pressure ulcers
- infected wounds
- slough wounds
- foul-smelling wounds
- donor and recipient graft sites
- burns
- surgical wounds
- diabetic wounds
- abrasions
ACTIONS
- Provides an effective antibacterial barrier that inhibits bacterial growth including antibiotic resistant strains (MRSA, VRE and Acinetobacter 1 ).
- Biofilms are complex communities of bacteria and fungi within an extracellular matrix on the wound bed 2 . Preliminary studies have shown that Medihoney dressings create a microenvironment that inhibits biofilm formation 3 .
- Medihoney dressings help reduce edema, pain and exudate associated with a prolonged inflammatory response 4 .
- The osmotic action of Medihoney dressings helps cleanse the wound and traps debris in the antibacterial micro-environment of the dressing, inhibiting bacteria that can cause odor 1,4 . It allows a fast, effective and autolytic debridement of slough and necrotic tissue and the rapid removal of bad odors 4 .
- The use of Medihoney dressings can significantly reduce the wound surface pH 6 . The creation of an acidic environment can help reduce protease activity, increase the activity of fibroblasts and increase the release of oxygen, thus helping wound healing 7 .
- Promotes wound healing by creating a moist environment that improves granulation and re-epithelialization processes and reduces trauma and pain when changing clothes 4,6 .
USE
1. Protect vulnerable wound edges with an appropriate barrier cream such as Medihoney Barrier Cream.
2. Place the dressing on the wound surface so that the dressing contacts the wound bed. To cover large areas it is possible to resort to bandages and dressings. The Medihoney dressing should be cut with sterile or foldable scissors to fit the shape of the wound. Alternatively the wound can be filled with Medihoney antibacterial medical honey before applying the Medihoney dressing.
3. A suitable non-adherent sterile gauze or bandage should be applied to cover the Medihoney dressing. The dressing must be sufficiently absorbent to manage wound exudate.
4. The wound can be cleaned, between dressings, in accordance with standard wound cleaning protocol.
Frequency of Change: The Medihoney dressing should be replaced when the medicating agent has been diluted with exudate. The dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days depending on the exudate. If maceration of the surrounding skin occurs, more frequent dressing replacement is required.
