Derma Sciences' Medihoney Gel Wound and Burn Dressing aids in the preservation of a damp environment to optimize the healing process of wounds. This healing salve is made of Leptospermum Honey and other natural gelling ingredients. The noteworthy osmotic pressure of MediHoney successfully draws liquids from deeper tissues to the injury surface. Additionally, the gel efficiently cleanses and debrides because of its powerful osmolarity. Its formulation is considerably thicker and much more secure at the injured site.
Why Medihoney Gel?
- Autolytic Debridement, assisted by the moist environment of MediHoney dressings, works by facilitating the body's own processes. It brings wound fluid to the surface, where the natural enzyme contained in the fluid dissolves and liquefies dead tissue.
- The sugar content of honey helps to transfer fluid from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This osmotic effect brings fluid to the wound's surface and liquefies non-viable tissue.
- Low pH levels within the wound, between 3.5 and 4.5, help to encourage healing. In comparison, the alkaline pH range of 7.15 to 8.94 can hinder wound healing. By maintaining an acidic environment, MediHoney is able to keep a wound progressing towards healing.
