MediHoney Gel In A Tube 1.5 FL OZ 44g
MediHoney® Gel dressing is a moist dressing made of Active Leptospermum Honey (+15) in combination with natural gelling agents. The gelling agents act to maintain the physical integrity and viscosity of the dressing, even in the presence of body heat and fluids. As a percentage of the overall dressing, MediHoney® Gel dressing contains 80% honey. The dressing has a low pH and can help to lower the overall pH of wounds. The dressing also possesses a high osmotic potential, which assists in debridement. MediHoney® Gel assists in maintaining a moist environment for optimal wound healing.
