What are Medihoney Dressings?

Medihoney dressings are a revolutionary type of bandages and applications that are being used to great success in the medical care profession. These particular coverings come in a variety of different guises and can be used for a lot of different injuries. These dressings are called Medihoney in reference to the Manuka honey (Leptospermum honey) from which its healing, antiseptic and antibiotic properties come.

These manuka honey soaked dressings are all-natural, have no side effects, and have shown to be very potent in healing wounds and curing  or soothing several skin ailments.

Studies show that with the use of Medihoney chronic wounds heal 40% faster.

Current popular products include:

• Medihoney Hydrocolloid Wound Paste
• Medihoney Calcium Alginate Dressing
• Medihoney Honeycolloid Dressing

All of these products have the same three principal actions.

1. They clean wounds of bacteria, dead tissue, dirt and debris by actively drawing it into the dressing;
2. protect patients by reducing the risk of infection;
3. and heal by creating a moist low acidity environment which promotes healing.

Medihoney is often more effective than antibiotics but does not cause resistance to antibiotics in bacteria. Also Medhoney is non-toxic, opposed to silver dressings, and is not harmful to the newly formed skin cells during wound healing.

What can Medihoney Dressings be Used For?

Users have reported a vast array of uses for these differing applications.

• One user learned about Medihoney Hydrocolloid Wound Paste following advice from an amputee and used it successfully on large leg ulcers. He reports that the ulcers heal more quickly with this product.

• Another user claimed to have had an open wound for more than three months and reported seeing a difference within just three hours of applying Medihoney.

• One woman announced the product as “A miracle!” after having a caesarean section which healed incorrectly. The original incision had to be reopened and a visiting nurse recommended Medihoney. In two days the cut went from 6 cm to 4 cm.

• Hailing it as a fantastic discovery, one user applied Medihoney to pressure sores that had started tunnelling and within eight weeks they were completely healed.

• Another patient turned to Medihoney after surgery, which left an infected wound that refused to heal. Within four days the necrotic tissue had fully disappeared and the wound was improving and filling in.

• There was a case where someone had caught MRSA through a tiny boil! Antibiotics proved to be ineffective, so with their doctor’s consent they tried Medihoney. Their family were delighted to see significant improvement, and eventually the patient was fully healed.
