Medihoney Calcium Alginate
Medihoney Calcium Alginate Dressings, a unique line of dressings containing Active Leptospermum (Manuka) Honey from New Zealand and Australia, have been shown to possess unique qualities that make them ideal for the management of chronic and acute wounds and burns.
High Osmolarity
- Promotes a moisture-balanced environment conducive to optimal wound healing in multiple etiologies
- The high osmotic potential of Medihoney promotes an outflow of wound fluid that helps to soften and liquefy necrotic tissue
- Medihoney aids in autolytic debridement and the removal of necrotic tissue containing factors that can delay wound healing
Low pH
- Medihoney lowers the pH of the wound environment, which promotes healing by increasing the release of oxygen from hemoglobin
For the management of moderate to heavily exuding wounds including:
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Venous stasis leg ulcers
- Arterial leg ulcers
- Leg ulcers of mixed etiology
- Pressure ulcers (I-IV)
- 1st and 2nd degree burns
