Medline TheraHoney Foam Flex Honey Wound Dressings, 4" x 4", 10/box

Medline TheraHoney Honey Wound Dressing, 4" x 4", 10/box

TheraHoney products contain 100% sterile, medical-grade Manuka honey with no fillers or additives. Manuka honey is derived from the pollen and nectar of the Leptospermum scoparium plant in New Zealand. The honey comb is used only one time, and once harvested, the honey is carefully filtered, irradiated and tested in a laboratory for high efficacy. Manuka honey has unique properties that help create a moist wound environment conducive to wound healing, promote natural (autolytic) debridement to clear away necrotic tissue, and reduce wound odor.

• All-encompassing dressing featuring flexible absorbent foam and 100% Leptospermum scoparium medical-grade honey. Honey provides an osmotic activity that helps with wound closure, while foam absorbs exudate, helping create an optimal balance between moisture and absorption that is essential for healing.
  • Recommended for use on partial and full-thickness wounds, leg ulcers, pressure injuries, first- and second-degree burns, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds and trauma wounds under the supervision of a healthcare professional, and minor abrasions, lacerations, minor cuts and minor scalds and burns.
  • Can be used on shallow wounds that are heavily draining.
  • Should be paired with absorbent dressing and is compatible with most silver dressings and wound cleanser surfactants.
  • Can be secured with tape; no secondary dressing required.
  • Dressing can be cut to size if needed.
  • Foam layer helps reduce risk of maceration.
• High sugar levels in Manuka honey result in osmotic pressure that helps promote autolytic debridement of necrotic tissue, a moist wound healing environment and may help with wound odor.
• Chronic, non-healing wounds often have an elevated alkaline environment. Lowering the pH can aid in wound healing, and the use of Manuka honey (with a pH of 3.5-4.5) is associated with a statistically significant decrease in wound pH and a reduction in wound size.
• Wounds can smell for a variety of reasons. The use of honey is known to reduce odors stemming from the wound bed.
• Size: 4" x 4"
• Packaged 10 dressings per box.
