The Medline MNK0015 TheraHoney Gel Wound Dressing 1.5oz Tube is a specialized wound care product designed to promote healing in various types of wounds through the natural properties of medical-grade Manuka honey. This advanced gel formulation is specifically developed to manage wounds by creating an optimal healing environment, reducing infection risks, and supporting autolytic debridement. The TheraHoney Gel is easy to apply and highly effective for a wide range of wound types, making it a valuable addition to any wound care regimen.
Medical-Grade Manuka Honey: The primary ingredient in TheraHoney Gel is 100% medical-grade Manuka honey derived from the Leptospermum scoparium plant native to New Zealand. Manuka honey is known for its potent antibacterial properties, high osmolarity, and ability to promote moist wound healing. The honey helps create a barrier against contaminants while also maintaining a moist wound environment that supports tissue regeneration.
Promotes Autolytic Debridement: TheraHoney Gel facilitates autolytic debridement, a natural process where the body’s own enzymes break down necrotic tissue. This process is essential for wound healing, as it clears away dead tissue and allows for the growth of new, healthy tissue. The high osmolarity of the honey draws out exudate and debris, aiding in the removal of non-viable tissue.
Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Activity: Manuka honey’s unique antibacterial properties are effective against a wide range of pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and VRE (vancomycin-resistant Enterococci). This makes TheraHoney Gel a beneficial choice for managing wounds at risk of infection.
Maintains a Moist Wound Environment: The gel formulation ensures that the wound stays hydrated, which is essential for effective healing. A moist wound environment not only accelerates healing but also reduces pain and minimizes scarring. The gel consistency allows for easy application and smooth coverage over the wound bed.
Versatile Application for Various Wound Types: TheraHoney Gel is indicated for a wide range of wounds, including partial- and full-thickness wounds, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, burns, and traumatic wounds. It is particularly useful for wounds with low to moderate exudate and those that require a moist healing environment.
1.5oz Tube for Convenient Application: The 1.5oz tube is designed for easy, mess-free application. The tube format allows for precise control over the amount of gel applied, reducing waste and ensuring consistent coverage. The compact size is convenient for both healthcare providers and patients managing wound care at home.
Non-Toxic and Biocompatible: TheraHoney Gel is biocompatible, meaning it is safe for prolonged contact with wound tissue. The natural ingredients are gentle on the skin, making it suitable for use on sensitive or compromised skin. The product is free from synthetic additives and preservatives, reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
Cost-Effective Wound Management: The ability of TheraHoney Gel to address multiple aspects of wound care—such as infection control, debridement, and moisture maintenance—makes it a cost-effective option for wound management. By supporting faster healing and reducing the need for additional treatments, it can contribute to overall healthcare savings.
The Medline MNK0015 TheraHoney Gel Wound Dressing 1.5oz Tube is indicated for:
Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Promotes healing in chronic wounds associated with diabetes.
