Medihoney Gel Sheets Now Here

The new Medihoney Gel Sheets are now available to you.

These give you medical grade, sterilised antibacterial honey in a sheet of 'gel' form. Use them as a wound dressing, for wounds or leg ulcers.

Medihoney™ Gel Sheet is a sterile, non-adherent wound dressing comprising Medihoney™ Antibacterial Honey(80% w/w) and Sodium Alginate for wound care (20% w/w). They are for use on mild to moderately exudating wounds.

You can cut them into smaller pieces for smaller wounds, or use two side by side to cover a larger area.

Simply use another sterile dressing of bandaging over top to hold it in place.

They provide another option to the Apinate manuka honey dressings which are thicker and more 'heavy duty'.

Now in stock for you to order in 5cm x 5cm size, with each box containing 10 gel sheets.

Oncology Dietitians

Today the British Dietetic Association Oncology Group held a study day in London around head and neck cancer.

We were invited along to have a stand providing information on manuka honey to the attending dieticians.

Talking to them, many already had quite a few patients who were taking manuka honey. They were keen to learn more between taking it internally and the specialist medical wound products for external use.

Being professionals they were also quite interested to know about the research side of things, and what supporting research and clinical trials had been done.

There is highlights of and links to some of research on our website in the manuka honey information section.

However we do also hold quite an extensive reference list of many of the studies that have been made around the world.

If you are a professional in the medical field and would like to know more about UMF® manuka honey, then please feel free to get in touch with us and ask any questions you have. You can do so via email from our website, or could make use of the forum there to ask as well. The research reference list can be provided on request.
