Honey Dressings

Honey impregnated dressings have a strong antimicrobial active element with a deodorizing and autolytic debriding action. They have an osmotic effect on a wound, providing a moist, healing environment and speeding up the healing process while clearing infections and preventing the wound against additional infections. Dressings with manuka honey are regarded as having exceptionally high antibacterial activity. These types of dressings are effective on different types of wounds including surgical incision sites, traumatic wounds, minor burns or first and second degree burns, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, sloughy wounds and pressure ulcers.
