Medline MNK0015 - DRESSING, HONEY, THERAHONEY, 1.5 OZ TUBE, EACH
THERAHONEY GEL
Ideal for difficult to dress wounds, this 100% Manuka honey gel provides a moist wound healing environment to help promote autolytic debridement. TheraHoney Gel is recommended for use on wounds with no drainage to moderate drainage.
TheraHoney wound gel is indicated for use on wounds with no drainage to moderate drainage. 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. High sugar levels (87%) in TheraHoney result in osmotic pressure that help promote autolytic debridement of necrotic tissue, a moist wound healing environment, and helps rapidly reduce wound odor.
Recommended for use on partial and full-thickness wounds, leg ulcers, pressure injuries, 1st and 2nd degree burns, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds and trauma wounds under the supervision of a healthcare professional, and minor abrasions, lacerations, minor cuts, minor scalds and burns.
The Honey Story.
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.
The Role of Sugar in Autolytic Debridement
The high sugar levels (87%) in TheraHoney result in osmotic activity that helps promote natural (autolytic) debridement to clear away necrotic tissue, maintain a moist wound environment conducive to wound healing, and reduce wound odor.
The Impact of Manuka Honey on Wound pH
Chronic, non-healing wounds often have an elevated alkaline environment. Lowering the pH can aid in wound healing, and the use of Manuka honey dressings is associated with a statistically significant decrease in wound pH and a reduction in wound size.
Reduced Necrotic Tissue and Wound Size
Using TheraHoney Gel, wounds significantly improved in terms of necrotic tissue reduction and wound surface reduction over an average of 4 weeks.
