Benefits

• As wound fluid enters the dressing, the honey is released while the dressing forms a gel
• Maintains effectiveness even in the presence of wound fluid, blood and tissue
• Easy to use with potential for extended wear times depending on exudate
• Promotes a moisture-balanced environment conducive to wound healing
• Can be used before, during and after negative pressure applications
• Can be used as a cover dressing for skin grafts or substitutes
• Helps stalled wounds progress toward healing
• Osmotic potential draws fluid through the wound to the surface, helping to liquefy non-viable tissue
• Low pH of 3.5-4.5 - maintaining more acidic pH levels within the wound environment can help to keep a wound on track towards healing
• Non-toxic, natural and safe

Indications

MEDIHONEY® Calcium Alginate Dressing is indicated for moderately to heavily exuding wounds such as: diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers (venous insufficiency ulcers, arterial ulcers and leg ulcers of mixed etiology), pressure ulcers (partial- and full-thickness), first- and second-degree partial-thickness burns, donor sites and traumatic or surgical wounds.

Contraindications

Contraindicated for use on individuals with an allergy to honey, on third-degree burns or to control heavy bleeding.

Warnings and Precautions

Some patients may notice slight transient stinging. If sting does not stop or cannot be managed with analgesic, remove dressing and cleanse area. An increase in exudate may occur due to the high osmolarity. Manage with an absorptive cover dressing.

Storage Requirements

Store at 50°F-77°F.
