What is MediHoney?

MediHoney is the world's leading wound care dressing brand made with medical-grade Active Leptospermum Honey. It is derived from the nectar of a flowering Leptospermum species, Uh, vine. The bees collect the nectar from this flowering plant and produce honey that researchers have found to be unique for the management of hard to heal wounds and burns.

Why choose MediHoney Gel?

1. Autolytic Debridement  - During autolysis, the body breaks down tissue or cells. A moist environment, supported by MediHoney dressings, aids the body’s process of bringing wound fluid to the surface with endogenous enzyme, thus loosening and liquefying necrotic tissue.
2. High Osmolarity - The high sugar content of honey facilitates movement of fluid from an area of higher concentration, across a membrane, to an area of lower concentration. Osmotic potential draws fluid through the wound, to the surface, helping to liquefy non-viable tissue.
3. Low pH - The failure of a chronic wound to heal has been correlated with alkaline pH levels ranging from 7.15 to 8.94.10 MediHoney has a low pH of 3.5–4.5. Maintaining more acidic pH levels within the wound environment can help to keep a wound on track towards healing.
