Frequently asked questions

Does this honey dressing aid in wound debridement?

Yes, it is highly effective for debridement. The high osmolarity of the Leptospermum honey helps cleanse the wound while naturally lowering the wound pH, which supports a more efficient healing process.

Can this dressing be used for wounds with heavy drainage?

Absolutely. This dressing is specifically designed for partial-to-full thickness wounds that exhibit moderate-to-heavy drainage. It is engineered to absorb exudate and transform into a soothing gel upon contact with wound fluid.

Is the honey used in this product medical-grade?

Yes, it uses medical-grade Leptospermum honey derived from New Zealand and Australian plants. This honey is specifically harvested for its therapeutic clinical properties.

Does the dressing remain effective if the wound is moist?

One of its primary benefits is that it maintains effectiveness even in the presence of wound fluid. As the honey is released, the dressing forms a gel to maintain an optimal, moist environment throughout the healing duration.
