When to use Honeycolloid Dressing?

Medihoney Non-adhesive dressing is indicated for the management of wounds such as:

Wash hands thoroughly
Apply gloves
Assess the wound
- Look for signs of healing
- Look for any signs of increased redness, pain, swelling, or heat within or around the wound
Cleanse the wound and skin around the wound with sterile saline, sterile water, or other safe wound cleansers
Dry the skin around the wound by patting gently with gauze
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 Honeycolloid dressing for light to moderate exudates
Apply the appropriate Medihoney dressing to fit the wound
Medihoney can be cut to fit within the wound edges
Apply an absorbent cover dressing (XTRASORB super absorbent dressings are recommended due to the highly osmotic effect of MEDIHONEY)
Dressing change: Remove the dressing gently. If the dressing is difficult to remove, moisten with saline or water. Discard the old dressing in a disposal bag

If the Medihoney Wound dressing is not easily removed, soak it with sterile saline or water until it is removed without difficulty.
Due to the non-adhesive dressing's low pH, some patients may notice a slight transient stinging. If stinging does not stop or persists and cannot be managed with an analgesic, remove the dressing, cleanse the area, and discontinue the use of Medihoney dressing
During the initial use of the dressing (depending on wound exudate levels, interstitial fluid, and edema surrounding the wound), the dressing's high osmotic potential may contribute to increased exudate, which could lead to maceration if the excess moisture is not managed appropriately. Manage additional moisture by adding an absorptive cover dressing and/or adjusting the frequency of dressing changes. Protect the peri-wound skin by applying a skin barrier protectant to the surrounding skin.
During the healing process, it is common for non-viable tissue to be removed from the wound resulting in an initial increase in wound size. Although an initial increase in wound size may be attributed to the normal removal of non-viable tissue, consult a healthcare professional if the wound continues to grow larger after the first few dressing changes.

On third-degree burns
With patients that have a known sensitivity to honey or any other component present in Medihoney Honeycolloid Dressing
To control heavy bleeding

Active Leptospermum Honey is the most studied species of honey for the management of wounds and burns
It is derived from the pollen and nectar of specific Leptospermum species of plant in New Zealand
Its property of maintaining effectiveness in the presence of wound fluid make this unique among all type of honey
The only species of honey that has been shown in randomized controlled studies to help wounds, that have stalled under first-line treatment, to progress toward healing
