Medihoney Wound And Burn Dressing

Manuka honey wound dressing for treatment of infected wounds, burns, and chronic non-healing wounds in horses and small animals; antimicrobial via hydrogen peroxide generation and low pH. Medical-grade Leptospermum (manuka) honey wound dressing. Mechanism: generates H2O2 via glucose oxidase; low pH (~3.5) inhibits bacterial growth; hyperosmolarity dehydrates bacterial cells; methylglyoxal (MGO) provides additional antimicrobial activity; growth factors and antioxidants support wound healing. Effective against MRSA and biofilm-forming organisms.

Topical wound dressing: apply directly to wound bed. Dress wound appropriately. Change every 1–3 days. Store at room temperature; protect from light.

Local wound application: mild stinging (low pH/osmolarity). Generally very well tolerated. Rare contact sensitization to honey components.
