Medical Grade Manuka Honey
Activon Medical Grade Manuka Honey is a medical grade manuka honey which has a reliable level of antibacterial potency not found in other honeys. It is filtered and sterilised, making it suitable for application to wounds.
Medical honey is produced from the nectar of Manuka flowers that only grow in New Zealand. It has a UMF - Unique Manuka Factor which measures its' antibacterial strength. This is important in wound healing because other types of honey without this factor do not remain antibacterial in a wound environment for a prolonged period. Activon is filtered, sterilised and controlled to ensure effective and safe application in wound management. Activon honey can rapidly cleanse yellow/black wounds, deodorise and promote fast wound healing.
In addition to its antibacterial properties, Activon honey benefits patients with wounds in a number of ways. It will de-bride and de-slough, eliminate odours caused by infection and provides a moist wound healing environment. Activon Tube Manuka Honey is ideal for debriding necrotic tissue, or for topping up dressings where the honey has been washed away by exudate. Great for using in cavities, just wash away with saline solution.

Directions
Twist off cap, apply liberally to the wound bed (surface or cavity) and cover with an appropriate secondary dressing. Activon Tube Mnauka Honey 15g is a single patient use only product. Once opened use within 90 days.
Initially you may experience high levels of exudate, this is perfectly normal and will decrease over time, therefore your secondary dressing of choice may initially need to be a superabsorbent dressing.
Contraindictions
Although the Manuka honey is not absorbed into the blood stream, we advise monitoring the levels of patients with diabetes. Do not use if allergic to bee stings or honey.
Discomfort can be experienced when the Manuka honey is applied, depending on sensitivity of the wound it may be necessary to consider an appropriate level of analgesia. The initial discomfort usually subsides, however if it does continue, discontinue use and irrigate the wound with saline solution
