Medline TheraHoney Manuka Honey Wound Gel, 0.5 oz and 1.5 oz Tube sizes

Medline TheraHoney Honey Wound Gel, 100% Leptospermum scoparium Honey

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.

• Primary dressing ideal for difficult to dress wounds, this 100% Manuka honey gel is easy to apply and provides a moist wound healing environment to help promote natural debridement. TheraHoney Gel is recommended for use on shallow and deep wounds with no drainage to moderate drainage.
  • 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.
  • For optimal results, cover these TheraHoney products with a secondary dressing, such as OptiLock or Optifoam Gentle.
• 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.
