Description
What Are MediHoney Calcium Alignate Dressings?
MediHoney dressings use medical-grade Active Leptospermum honey to wick and absorb wound fluid while assisting with debridement. MediHoney
Calcium Alginate Dressings turn into a gel once in contact with exudate and release honey to create a pH-balanced healing environment.
Honey has been used as a healing agent for thousands of years. MediHoney Calcium Alginate Dressings are based on this history and use Active Leptospermum honey — derived from tea trees.
MediHoney Calcium Alginate Dressings contain 95% Active Leptospermum honey. An impregnated dressing, this solution draws in exudate while transforming into a gel and infusing honey into the wound bed.
