DETAILS
Material
- Natural Manuka honey
- Calcium ion
- Natural seaweed
Main Mechanism
- Antibacterial Action: Manuka honey contains high concentrations of natural antibacterial components, such as methylglyoxal (MGO), which effectively inhibit bacterial growth. The enzymes in honey produce hydrogen peroxide, further enhancing its antibacterial properties and preventing wound infections.
- Moist Healing: Alginate forms a gel when it comes into contact with wound exudate, maintaining a moist environment around the wound. Moist healing helps reduce pain, accelerate cell regeneration, and promote wound healing.
- Moisture Absorption and Debridement: Alginate has strong moisture-absorbing properties, drawing exudate from the wound while maintaining a moist environment. After absorption, the gel formed by alginate helps to trap wound secretions, remove necrotic tissue (such as pus and dead skin), and create a clean environment that promotes healing.
- Coagulation and Hemostasis: The calcium ions (Ca²⁺) in alginate interact with blood clotting factors at the wound site, activating the coagulation process and promoting hemostasis.
- Pain Relief and Nerve Protection: The gel layer of the dressing buffers the wound from external contact, reducing external irritation and alleviating pain, while also protecting nerve endings at the wound site from further damage.
- Anti-inflammatory Action: Manuka honey has natural anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce inflammation around the wound and promote comfort during the healing process.

- A secondary dressing, such as silicone foam dressing or Island dressing, should be used in combination.
Natural Healing with a Sweet Touch
Natural Ingredients: Combining the healing properties of honey with the moisture-retentive capabilities of alginate, these dressings provide a safe and effective solution for wound management.
Antimicrobial Action: Honey is renowned for its natural antimicrobial properties, helping to inhibit bacterial growth and reduce the risk of infection in wounds.
Superior Moisture Management: The alginate component absorbs excess exudate while maintaining a moist wound environment, which is essential for promoting healing and preventing tissue damage.
Soothing and Nourishing: Honey not only aids in healing but also soothes the wound area, providing relief from discomfort and supporting skin regeneration.
