Also know as Manuka honey, it is derived from the pollen and nectar of a specific Leptospermum species of plant in New Zealand Wounds can be challenging to manage due to a multitude of co-morbid and cascading factors8. These factors include necrotic tissue, bacterial imbalance, recurring physical trauma, and altered levels/composition of wound exudates.If successful, an effective splinting programme could consign the surgical correction of all but the most severe ear deformities to the past."

Normal skin has a naturally acidic protective mantle. The acid mantle helps to hydrate the skin by protecting it from drying and from harmful bacteria. Skin ailments such as eczema and dermatitis are linked to a disrupted acid mantle with subsequent colonisation by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. The use of Medihoney Barrier Cream helps maintain the skin’s protective pH. During autolysis the body breaks down tissue or cells. A moist environment, created by ALH dressings, aids the body’s own process of moisturizing and re-hydrating, thus loosening and liquefying necrotic tissue. In all the long history of wound care, no period has seen as dramatic a change as the last decade. The new paradigm of moist wound healing has significantly improved outcomes and has helped clinicians make knowledge-based decisions affecting the healing process.

Second, Manuka honey contains a much higher concentration of methylglyoxal (MGO) than regular honey. MGO is an organic compound known for its antibacterial and antiviral properties. The osmotic effect constantly replenishes plasminogen at the surface of the wound. Plasminogen is then converted to plasmin which breaks the adhesion of necrotic tissue at the wound surface. The constant outflow of fluid helps to gently lift necrotic tissue.MEDIHONEY calcium alginate dressings can be safely worn for up to seven days.
