MEDIHONEY looks similar in appearance and texture to traditional store-bought honey, but it’s not a sweetener. Instead, it provides an all-natural way to treat open wounds, preventing gangrene and infection. Often, wounds that have progressed carry a malodorous smell. MEDIHONEY has also been shown to decrease odors that may accompany wounds. Thoroughly clean the wound with a saline solution. (Here’s a recipe from IntermountainHealthcare). Then, if necessary, apply a barrier cream around the edges of the wound. Barrier cream prevents skin breakdown and infection.Wounds can be challenging to manage due to a multitude of co-morbid and cascading factors8. These factors include necrotic tissue, bacterial imbalance, recurring physical trauma, and altered levels/composition of wound exudates.

MEDIHONEY calcium alginate dressings can be safely worn for up to seven days. Change the dressing as soon as the secondary bandage reaches its absorbent capacity, or as prescribed by your loved one’s primary care physician.MEDIHONEY is different from regular honey in several ways. For one, it’s only produced by bees that pollinate the Manuka flower, a species of tea tree native to New Zealand.

It’s recommended for hard-to-dress wounds, including: ALH creates an osmotic effect, which occurs when the high sugar content of honey facilitates movement of fluid from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Lymph fluid is drawn from the deeper tissue to the wound surface. The constant flow of lymph fluid cleanses debris and lifts necrotic tissue from the wound. Keep in mind that it’s best that MEDIHONEY be on the skin for 12-24 hours at a time for maximum effectiveness. If you or your loved one is having a hard time keeping the dressing intact, soak a gauze dressing in the MEDIHONEY (or use the MEDIHONEY square dressing) and apply it directly on the wound, then top with an abdominal pad dressing.

The osmotic effect constantly replenishes plasminogen at the surface of the wound. Plasminogen is then converted to plasmin which breaks the adhesion of necrotic tissue at the wound surface. The constant outflow of fluid helps to gently lift necrotic tissue. In all the long history of wound care, no period has seen as dramatic a change as the last decade. The new paradigm of moist wound healing has significantly improved outcomes and has helped clinicians make knowledge-based decisions affecting the healing process.
