Medline TheraHoney Gel Honey Dressing

• TheraHoney Dressing contain 100% sterile, medical-grade Manuka honey with no fillers or additives.

• Manuka honey is derived from the pollen and nectar of the Leptospermum scoparium plant in New Zealand.

• The honey comb is used only one time, and once harvested, the honey is carefully filtered, irradiated and tested in a laboratory for high efficacy.

• Manuka honey has unique properties that help create a moist wound environment conducive to wound healing, promote natural (autolytic) debridement to clear away necrotic tissue, and reduce wound odor.

The illustration demonstrates how the osmotic action of Manuka honey draws exudate from subcutaneous tissue to the wound surface, removing debris, slough, and necrotic tissue.

The Role of Sugar in Autolytic Debridement

• The high sugar levels (87%) in TheraHoney result in osmotic activity that helps promote natural (autolytic) debridement to clear away necrotic tissue, maintain a moist wound environment conducive to wound healing, and reduce wound odor.

• The Impact of Manuka Honey on Wound pH Chronic, non-healing wounds often have an elevated alkaline environment.

• Lowering the pH can aid in wound healing, and the use of Manuka honey dressings is associated with a statistically significant decrease in wound pH and a reduction in wound size.

Step 1: Dispense Gel to the applicator or gloved finger

Step 2: Apply the TheraHoney Gel directly to wound.

Step 3: Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing.
