Melcura Honey Gel 50g – 100% Medical-Grade Fynbos Honey
Melcura Honey Gel 50g is a medical-grade honey wound gel containing 100% medical-grade Fynbos honey. It is formulated with pharmaceutical-grade gelling agents and sterile water to provide a smooth, easy-to-apply consistency for wound care.
The gel uses the natural properties of medical-grade honey to support the wound-healing environment. Its high sugar content and low water activity create high osmotic pressure, drawing fluid from the wound bed towards the surface. This action can assist with debridement and the management of wound swelling.
The naturally low pH of the honey creates an environment that is unfavourable for bacterial growth, including organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, according to the supplied product information.
Melcura Honey Gel is suitable for a broad range of wounds, including diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, venous leg ulcers, minor cuts and abrasions, first- and second-degree burns, surgical wounds and trauma wounds.
The gel is designed to be non-adherent to the wound bed. During dressing changes, it can be rinsed away with saline solution, helping to minimise unnecessary disturbance to newly formed tissue.
Melcura Honey Gel also provides wound-odour management, helping to reduce unpleasant wound odours.
