Frequently asked questions

Does this dressing help manage wound fluid?

Yes, it is designed for excellent moisture management. As wound fluid enters the dressing, it absorbs the moisture and transforms into a gel, which helps maintain the optimal moist environment necessary for effective healing.

Is the honey used in this dressing medical-grade?

Yes, this dressing uses medical-grade Leptospermum honey sourced from the nectar and pollen of plants in New Zealand and Australia. It is specifically formulated to be safe and effective for clinical wound management.

Can this dressing help with wound debridement?

Absolutely. The high osmolarity of the medical-grade honey facilitates active debridement, helping to cleanse the wound effectively through all stages of the healing process.

Is this dressing safe for those with latex allergies?

Yes, this product is latex-free and is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients with sensitivities.

Does the dressing work if it gets wet from wound drainage?

Unlike some dressings that lose effectiveness when saturated, MEDIHONEY is designed to maintain its clinical efficacy even in the presence of wound fluid. Its unique composition allows it to continue supporting a healing environment even as it interacts with drainage.

What types of wounds is this dressing best for?

This dressing is specifically indicated for partial-to-full thickness wounds that exhibit moderate-to-heavy drainage. It is versatile enough to be used through all phases of the healing process, from the initial onset to final closure.

Does this dressing have an adhesive border?

This specific variant is designed without a border. This allows it to be used flexibly for different wound sites, as clinicians or patients can secure it with their preferred secondary dressing.

Can I reuse these dressings?

No, these dressings are strictly for single-use only. Each piece comes in a sterile, medical-grade pouch to ensure safety and hygiene for every application.

How does the honey affect the wound environment?

The dressing helps optimize the wound bed in two primary ways:

  • Lowering pH: It helps create a lower-pH environment, which is conducive to healing.
  • High Osmolarity: This helps cleanse the wound and remove debris.
How many dressings come in a box?

Each box contains 10 sterile individual dressings. They are also available by the case, which consists of 10 boxes per case.
