Frequently asked questions

Does this honey dressing help with wound cleansing?

Yes. This medical-grade paste features high osmolarity, which promotes natural cleansing and autolytic debridement of the wound bed, helping to prepare the site for effective recovery.

Is this product suitable for hard-to-reach wounds?

Absolutely. It is specifically designed for challenging, complex sites. The tapered nozzle on the dispensing tubes allows for precise application in areas such as:

  • Tunneled wounds
  • Undermined wounds
  • Sinus tracts
Why is the pH level of the wound important?

Maintaining an optimal pH level is critical for wound healing. MEDIHONEY helps lower the pH within the wound environment, which creates a more favorable condition for the body’s natural healing processes to occur.

Is this honey safe for use on all wound stages?

Yes, it is formulated to be effective throughout all phases of the healing process, from the initial onset of the wound to final closure.

Does the honey maintain its effectiveness when wet?

Yes. A key advantage of the Leptospermum honey used in this dressing is that it maintains its efficacy even in the presence of wound fluid, ensuring continuous support for the healing environment.

Is this product safe for people with latex allergies?

Yes, MEDIHONEY is 100% latex-free and is not made with natural rubber latex.

How is the sterility of the product guaranteed?

This is a clinical-grade, sterile product. It is specifically engineered and packaged to meet medical standards for wound care safety.

What is the primary ingredient in this dressing?

The paste is made of 100% Leptospermum honey, which is derived from the pollen and nectar of specific plants native to New Zealand and Australia.

Can I use the same tube for multiple applications?

No, this product is intended for single use only to maintain sterility and prevent contamination of the wound site.

What is the benefit of the paste consistency?

The paste consistency is specifically engineered to stay in place during application. This makes it much easier to target complex or deep wound structures compared to thinner dressings.
