Activon Medical Grade Manuka Honey 25g (Pack of 3)

Product Information

Using a dressing will help protect the wound and ensure the Activon Manuka Honey remains in the wound. What doesActivon Medical Grade Manuka Honey contain Simple manuka and kanuka are also very good on any type of skin infection, in Australia being widely use in treating infected wounds in animals. Activon Tube is 100% pure medical grade manuka honey in a tube. Medical grade manuka honey is natural manuka honey with a very high antibacterial activity that has been sterilized. Activon can be used for treating wounds, burns, scars resulting from surgery, pressure sores, leg ulcers and malodorous wounds. Hydrogel is commonly used as a wound dressing. It is composed of polymers suspended in water and is thought to provide hydration to a wound and promote healing. El-Kased et al (2017) 53 reported that an Egyptian honey (75%) chitosan hydrogel formula had superior antimicrobial activity against P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, K. pneumonia and Streptococcus pyogenes in a disc diffusion assay in comparison to pure honey. For example, the mean zone of inhibition for the honey 75% chitosan hydrogel formula against S. aureus was 20.2 ± 0.4 vs 15.1 ± 0.9 for honey. This formula was also superior to pure honey in the healing of 10 mm burn wounds induced in mice using a heated metallic rod. The wounds were treated with either the honey 75% chitosan hydrogel formula or honey for 9 days. By day 9, the honey chitosan treated wounds had a mean diameter of 3.8 ± 0.2 mm versus 5.3 ± 0.8 mm in the honey only treated group. Furthermore, an alginate-based honey hydrogel containing thymol-based honey from Damavand, Iran was reported to have superior wound healing ability in rats with infected burn wounds than honey alone. 54 Wound healing was faster in the alginate-based honey hydrogel treated group in comparison to the honey only group. In another study, a paste composed of carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel (50%), water (30%) and chestnut honey (20%) had superior antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and E.coli in a disc diffusion assay than a paste composed of carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel (50%) and water only. 55 Furthermore, the paste containing 20% chestnut honey had superior wound healing ability in comparison to the paste without honey in the treatment of wounds inflicted in the dorsal skin of mice. Tavaloki and Tang (2017) 56 designed a wound dressing consisting of a high concentration of honey, polyvinyl alcohol hybrid hydrogel and borax as a crosslinking agent. High concentrations of honey are important for wound healing but can negatively affect the physicochemical properties of hybrid hydrogels. The use of borax apparently overcomes this problem and permits the incorporation of high concentrations of honey without negative effects. The manuka honey comes from New Zealand and is produced following strict quality management and control procedures that ensure the honey remains free from any contaminants. It is also tested to establish the antibacterial level of the manuka honey as a high level is required for medical grade manuka honey.

Medical grade honey is manuka honey that has been was sterilized from all impurities and microorganisms (spores). The various bioactivities of honey work together for a rapid healing — honey rapidly debrides wounds (ie. cleans the wound by releasing pus or dead tissue), kills bacteria, directly suppresses inflammation, and stimulates the growth of the various types of cells involved in the production of new tissue to repair the wound. It will de-bride and de-slough, eliminate odours and provides a moist wound healing environment. Safety First: Please note that Activon Tube is not suitable for individuals allergic to bee venom. Some initial discomfort might occur but usually subsides. If persistent, cease use and consult a medical professional.

Honey and ginger combination induced higher mean zones of inhibition than honey or ginger alone or standard antibiotic discs (methicillin, penicillin, amoxicillin).

Versatile Healing Power: Whether it's a human's pressure ulcer or a pet's sore, this tube is your go-to solution. L-Mesitran demonstrated antifungal activity against C. albicans (MIC 25%–50%), whereas 40% Mexican yucatan honey did not.All honeys are good for healing skin conditions. They work through the 4 factors from the list above. Long-Lasting: Presented in a convenient 25g tube, Activon Tube remains effective for 90 days once opened. Low pH. Usually between 3.3 and 4.6, with some exception: chestnut honey (pH, between 5 and 6) and honeydew honey (pH between 4.5 and 6.5). Twist off the tube cap and apply directly to the wound. If the wound starts to ooze, dress it with an absorbent bandage or dressing after applying Activon Manuka Honey. Twist off the cap and apply to the wound bed to a minimum depth of 5mm and cover with an appropriate secondary dressing. Activon Tube is a single patient use only product, once opened use within 90 days.
