Manuka Honey Wound Care Dressing – Advanced Natural Healing Therapy
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.
Key Features
- Natural manuka honey
- Comfortable and painless Removal
- Protect wounds & promote Healing
- High Absorption
- Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
Cautions
- A know allergy to honey or bee venom.
- Honey gauze dressing contains glucose, although it is considered safe for use by diabetics. However, it is advisable to closely monitor blood sugar levels during use.
- A few patients experience increased pain due when this dressing is applied, but this can be helped by ensuring the dressing is at room temperature before using.
- A secondary dressing, such as silicone foam dressing or Island dressing, should be used in combination.
Manuka Honey Wound Care Dressing
Product Overview
Our Manuka Honey Wound Care Dressing harnesses the potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of UMF™-certified Manuka honey in a soft, non-woven pad. Designed for chronic and acute wounds—from diabetic ulcers to surgical incisions—this Manuka Honey Wound Care Dressing maintains a moist environment, soothes pain, and promotes rapid tissue regeneration without the need for harsh chemicals.
Unique Bioactive Components
UMF™ Manuka Honey
Each Manuka Honey Wound Care Dressing contains medical-grade Manuka honey with a high Unique Manuka Factor (UMF™), delivering methylglyoxal (MGO) concentrations known to inhibit over 60 bacterial strains, including MRSA.
Natural Enzymes & Antioxidants
Beyond antimicrobial action, the Manuka Honey Wound Care Dressing supplies enzymes that support autolytic debridement and antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, reducing inflammation and scarring.
Application & Dressing Change Protocol
Preparation
Cleanse the wound with sterile saline and pat the periwound skin dry.
Dressing Placement
Select a Manuka Honey Wound Care Dressing large enough to overlap the wound by 1 cm.
Place the honey-facing side onto the wound bed.
Securement & Wear Time
Cover with a secondary non-adhesive pad or film. Change the Manuka Honey Wound Care Dressing every 2–4 days, or sooner if heavily exuding.
Monitor for gel consistency and reapply as needed to maintain a moist healing environment.
You asked, we answered.
How do I determine the severity of my burn?
Burns are classified into four levels based on severity:
- Red, swollen skin without blisters; heals on its own.
- Red, blistered skin with moderate pain; requires moist dressings for healing.
- Blisters may burst, skin may appear white or dark red; high infection risk and may require skin grafting.
- Charred or waxy white skin with no pain (nerve damage); requires immediate medical attention.
👉 Recommendation: Minor burns can be treated at home, but second-degree or deeper burns should be evaluated by a doctor.
How do I choose the right size?
Ensure that the silver alginate dressing extends at least 1-2 cm beyond the wound edges. This helps to form a seal and prevents the dressing from lifting, while also minimizing the risk of contamination.
Can I continue using dressings after the burn wound has scabbed over?
Scabbing is part of the natural healing process, but excessive dryness can delay healing. Recommendations:
- If the scab cracks or delays healing, continue using hydrocolloid or silicone foam dressings to keep the wound moist.
- If the scab is intact and infection-free, discontinue dressings and switch to moisturizing treatments (silicone gel sheets, transparent film) to reduce scarring.
How often should I change the dressing on my burn wound?
The frequency depends on the dressing type and wound exudate level:
- Moist-retaining dressings (hydrocolloid, silicone foam, honey gauze) → Can stay in place for 3-5 days, but should be changed earlier if exudate increases.
- Highly absorbent dressings (silver alginate, calcium alginate) → Should be changed every 1-2 days to prevent oversaturation and infection.
- Antibacterial dressings (honey-based, bismuth tribromophenate)changed every 2-3 days, depending on exudate levels.
What is the difference between honey gauze and honey alginate dressings?
The key difference is absorption capacity:
- Honey gauze → Best for low to moderate exudate wounds, with antibacterial and healing benefits.
- Honey alginate → Absorbs moderate to heavy exudate, combining alginate’s absorption power with honey’s antimicrobial properties.
👉 For high-exudate wounds, honey alginate is the better choice.
