Frequently asked questions
Is this honey-based dressing effective for chronic wounds?
Yes, MEDIHONEY is specifically engineered to manage chronic and stalled wounds. Its formulation uses 100% Active Leptospermum Honey to create a high-osmolarity, low-pH environment that is highly conducive to tissue regeneration and healing.
Does this paste assist in the debridement process?
Absolutely. One of the core benefits of this dressing is that it facilitates continuous autolytic debridement of the wound bed, helping to clean the site effectively while remaining gentle on delicate tissue.
Will removing the dressing cause trauma to the wound?
No, it is designed to be removed gently. Because it maintains an optimal moist healing environment, the paste can be removed without causing secondary trauma to the delicate healing tissue.
How does the honey affect the pH of the wound?
The product works by leveraging the natural low pH and high osmolarity of Active Leptospermum Honey. This helps lower the overall pH levels of wounds, which is a critical factor in supporting the natural healing process.
Is this product safe for those with latex allergies?
Yes, this product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients with latex sensitivities or allergies.
