Role of Medihoney in Debridement: Hydrocolloid Wound Filler
Autolytic Debridement: During autolysis, the body breaks down tissue or cells. A moist environment, created by Active Leptospermum Honey (ALH) dressings, aids the process of moisturizing and re-hydrating, thus loosening and liquefying necrotic tissue.
High Osmotic Potenial: ALH creates an osmotic effect, which occurs when the high sugar content of honey facilitates the movement of fluid from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Additional fluid is drawn from the deeper tissue to the wound surface. The increased flow of fluid helps the natural processes of body to cleanse debris and necrotic or devitalized tissue from the wound.
Reduction in pH: The failure of a chronic wound to heal has been correlated with alkaline pH levels. The surface pH of chronic wounds has been reported to range from 7.15 to 8.94. ALH has a low pH of 3.5 – 4.5, which helps to reduce the pH of the wound environment. It contributes to the acidic environment that promotes healing. Lowering the pH also aids the natural processes of body for removal of necrotic tissue.
How Medihoney Helps Promote Healing?
Promotes a moisture-balanced environment conducive to optimal wound healing in multiple etiologies
Multiple Mechanisms of Action (MOAs) help to manage and gain control over the wound environment
Supports autolytic debridement due to high osmotic potential
Can help to promote an increase in wound fluid, helping to liquefy necrotic tissue
Helps to lower pH levels within the wound (lowering the pH of a wound has been shown to have wound healing benefits)
Is non-toxic, natural, and has a long history of safe use in the care of wounds and burns
Easy to use, with the potential for extended application wear times
Active Leptospermum Honey:
The most studied species of honey for the management of wounds and burns
Honey derived from the pollen and nectar of specific Leptospermum species of plant in New Zealand
Its unique healing properties have been shown in a randomized controlled study to promote significantly faster healing when compared to conventional dressings
It maintains its ability to assist in autolytic debridement even in the presence of wound fluid
