FAQs of ManukaMed Manukapli Sterile Gel Dressing
Q. How effective are ManukaMed’s products?
ManukaMed medical grade Manuka honey wound care dressings are highly effective in closing difficult and chronic wounds and healing wounds in less time. In most cases, you see the effect of our manuka honey at the first dressing change. In moderate to highly exudative wounds, our HD line shows immediate effects of managing exudate and maintaining a moist wound environment.
Q. At what stage should I consider using ManukaMed for wound care?
ManukaMed medical grade honey wound dressings should be applied at the commencement of wound treatment through to closure completion. For most chronic wounds this means after surgical debridement at day 1 of the post sharp debridement process. Manuka Honey is exceptional as maintenance debridement and works by inhibiting plasmin activator inhibitor (PAI) allowing more natural plasmin into the wound bed. Patients gain the special bioactive properties of Manuka Honey including the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial protection effects throughout their treatment.
Q. What is the average duration before dressing change is required with ManukaMed products?
During the first week of use the dressings should be changed every 1 to 3 days, then as needed. Nurses can assess when the dressing is fully absorbed and would change at this time. MedSaf and HD Superlite should be changed daily.
Q. How does ManukaMed perform compared to silver dressings?
ManukaMed Leptospermum scoparium honey wound dressings are superior in anti-bacterial activity to other honey wound dressings and versus silver gel in vitro.
