The healing properties of Manuka honey address many factors causing delayed wound healing.
STIMULATES AUTOLYTIC DEBRIDEMENT
Provides a moist wound environment and increases plasmin activity by inhibiting PAI (plasma activator inhibitor) which loosens slough or eschar connection to the wound bed.
HIGH OSMOLARITY
The osmotic action of Manuka honey draws exudate from subcutaneous tissue to the wound surface, removing debris and necrotic tissue.
LOWERS pH
Creates an acidic environment which has been shown to stimulate wound healing.
REDUCES ODOR
High sugar content of honey eliminates odor causing amines such as ammonia and/or sulfur.
