Integra MediHoney Paste Wound and Burn Dressing

The Integra MediHoney Paste supports the natural healing process and autolytic debridement using 100% Active Leptospermum medical grade honey. This specialized formulation works through a dual mechanism:

• Hypertonic Action (High Osmolarity): The honey’s high sugar content creates a hypertonic environment. This osmotic potential draws fluid from the wound bed to the surface, which aids in liquefying and removing non-viable tissue (slough and necrotic tissue).
• Low pH Environment: The paste naturally maintains a beneficial, low pH range of 3.5 to 4.5 at the wound site, fostering optimal healing conditions.

The dressing is designed to maintain its therapeutic effectiveness even in the presence of wound fluid. Its paste consistency also makes it ideal for managing complex geometries, ensuring the active honey penetrates hard-to-dress areas like tunneled, sinus, and undermined wounds.

Yes, the Integra MediHoney Paste is designed for atraumatic and gentle removal.

This paste minimizes disruption to the healing wound bed during dressing changes. To achieve this, it is crucial that the MediHoney Paste is used beneath a primary dressing. When used in conjunction with a primary dressing, the paste can be removed without causing trauma or disturbing the fragile tissue.

The Integra MediHoney Paste supports wound healing by facilitating autolytic debridement through its unique physicochemical properties, derived from 100% Active Leptospermum medical grade honey.

Here is how it works:

• Osmotic Action: The hypertonic nature (high osmolarity) of the paste actively draws fluid (exudate) from the wound bed to the surface. This process aids in the liquefaction and removal of non-viable tissue.
• Low pH: It helps maintain a low pH environment (ranging from 3.5 to 4.5), which is beneficial for the healing process and clinically shown to help stalled wounds progress.

Its paste consistency allows it to penetrate and conform to complex wound anatomies, making it ideal for tunneled, sinus, and undermined wounds.

The Integra MediHoney Paste is a versatile, sterile dressing indicated for managing a variety of light to moderately exuding wounds. It utilizes 100% Active Leptospermum medical grade honey to support a moist healing environment and aid in autolytic debridement.

The paste is specifically indicated for treating:

• Ulcers: Diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers (venous stasis, arterial, and mixed etiology), and partial or full thickness pressure ulcers/sores.
• Burns: 1st and 2nd degree burns.
• Acute Wounds: Donor sites, surgical wounds, and traumatic wounds.

Its paste consistency is particularly beneficial for complex wound anatomies, allowing it to effectively fill and manage tunneled wounds, sinus wounds, and wounds with undermining.

The Integra MediHoney Paste is designed for managing a variety of light to moderately exuding wounds. Its hypertonic, low pH (3.5 to 4.5) formula, made from 100% Active Leptospermum medical grade honey, supports a moist wound environment and facilitates autolytic debridement.

This sterile dressing is specifically indicated for:

• Ulcers and Sores: Diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers (venous stasis, arterial, and mixed etiology), and partial or full-thickness pressure ulcers/sores.
• Acute and Surgical Wounds: 1st and 2nd degree burns, traumatic wounds, donor sites, and surgical wounds.

A major advantage of the paste consistency is its versatility for complex anatomies, allowing it to effectively treat hard-to-dress areas such as tunneled wounds, sinus wounds, and wounds with undermining.

The Integra MediHoney Paste is available in three convenient tube sizes, each designed to meet different application and volume needs:

• 0.5 oz Tube: This configuration uses a twist-off seal and is typically packaged in a Box of 10 or a Case of 40.
• 1.5 oz Tube: This size includes a separate applicator tip and is available as a Single Unit or a Case of 12.
• 3.5 oz Tube: This is the largest size, also featuring a separate applicator tip, available as a Single Unit or a Case of 12.

The sizes featuring an applicator tip (1.5 oz and 3.5 oz) are especially beneficial for precise application in hard-to-dress areas, such as tunneled, sinused, or undermined wounds.

Yes, the Integra MediHoney Paste is formulated exclusively with 100% Active Leptospermum medical grade honey. This is a specialized, medical-grade honey that is rigorously processed for clinical wound care application.This material offers several key benefits:

• Purity and Sterility: The honey is ultra-filtrated and sterilized by gamma irradiation to ensure consistency and medical purity.
• Proven Effectiveness: It is the only type of honey proven in randomized controlled studies to help stalled wounds progress toward healing.
• Healing Environment: Its naturally low pH (3.5 to 4.5) and high osmolarity (hypertonic) draw fluid to the surface, maintaining a moist environment crucial for healing and supporting autolytic debridement (liquefaction of non-viable tissue).
• Persistence: The dressing maintains its therapeutic effectiveness even in the presence of wound fluid.

No, the included accessory depends on the size of the tube:

• The 0.5 oz Tube configuration features a Twist Off Seal.
• The larger 1.5 oz Tube and 3.5 oz Tube configurations are specified as including a dedicated applicator.

The inclusion of an applicator in the larger sizes aids in the precise placement of the paste, which is especially useful for managing complex or hard-to-dress areas, such as tunneled or sinus wounds, helping the paste seep into hard-to-reach locations.

Yes, the Integra MediHoney Paste is specifically engineered to support autolytic debridement, which is the process where the body naturally removes non-viable tissue.

It achieves this through the unique physicochemical properties of its 100% Active Leptospermum medical-grade honey:

• Osmotic Action: The paste has high osmolarity (hypertonic) and a low pH (3.5 to 4.5), which actively draws fluid from the wound bed to the surface.
• Tissue Liquefaction: This movement of fluid helps to liquefy non-viable tissue and slough, assisting in removal.
• Optimal Environment: By maintaining a moist wound environment, the paste creates the ideal conditions necessary for the effective progress of autolytic debridement.

The Integra MediHoney Paste is formulated with a specific, low therapeutic pH range that creates an optimal environment for wound healing and debridement. Its composition leverages this factor to support natural healing processes.

• Specific pH Range: The paste features a naturally low pH between 3.5 and 4.5.
• Key Benefits: This low pH, combined with the product’s high osmolarity (hypertonic nature), is crucial to its function:
  • It helps maintain a moist environment necessary for healing.
  • It supports autolytic debridement by drawing fluid and assisting in the liquefaction of non-viable tissue.
