Medihoney Barrier Cream is a product used for skin protection and management of skin irritation, such as incontinence-associated dermatitis, pressure ulcers, and radiation dermatitis.

It contains a blend of natural ingredients, including medical-grade Manuka honey, beeswax, and plant-based oils, which provide a protective barrier over the skin to help prevent further damage and soothe irritation. Manuka honey is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which make it effective in promoting wound healing and reducing the risk of infection.

Medihoney Barrier Cream is typically used as a part of a skincare regimen for patients with compromised skin integrity, such as those who are bedridden, have limited mobility, or are incontinent. It can also be used for the prevention and management of diaper rash, eczema, and other skin conditions. It is important to follow the instructions provided by a healthcare professional or on the product label for proper use of the product.

 

How important is Manuka honey for wound management?

1. Antibacterial activity: Manuka honey has natural antibacterial properties that can help prevent and control infections in wounds. It has been found to be effective against a wide range of bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains.
2. Anti-inflammatory activity: Manuka honey has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce swelling, pain, and redness around the wound. This can help improve wound healing by reducing tissue damage and promoting the growth of new tissue.
3. Moisture-retaining activity: Manuka honey can help retain moisture in the wound bed, which is essential for wound healing. It can also help regulate the pH of the wound bed, which is important for promoting the growth of new tissue.
4. Debridement activity: Manuka honey can help remove dead tissue and debris from the wound, which is essential for wound healing. It does this by releasing hydrogen peroxide, which can help dissolve and remove dead tissue.
5. Protective barrier activity: Manuka honey can form a protective barrier over the wound, which can help prevent further damage and infection. This barrier can also help reduce pain and promote healing.
