When using Medihoney HCS dressings for wound and burn care, it's important to be aware of certain risks to ensure safe and effective treatment. Some individuals may experience a slight, temporary stinging sensation upon application due to the dressing's low pH. If this discomfort persists and cannot be managed with pain relief measures, it's advisable to remove the dressing, cleanse the area, and discontinue use.

Medihoney HCS dressings are not suitable for all types of wounds. They should not be applied to deep wounds that require stitches, severe infections, or wounds that are actively bleeding heavily. Additionally, avoid using these dressings on open wounds with exposed bone or tendons, as well as on wounds exhibiting significant inflammation or a strong odor.

Proper application is crucial for the effectiveness of Medihoney HCS dressings. Before use, thoroughly clean the wound with cool, sterile water or a saline solution, avoiding harsh soaps or scrubbing. Apply a thin layer of the dressing directly to the wound, and if necessary, cover it with a clean, breathable bandage that doesn't stick to the wound. Regularly monitor the wound for signs of infection or further irritation.

In January 2025, a recall was issued for certain batches of Medihoney Gel due to potential issues with the packaging seal. If you have products from the affected batches, it's important to discontinue their use and follow the recall instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new wound care treatment, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are unsure about the suitability of a product for your specific wound type.

MEDIHONEY® Gel Wound & Burn Dressing is a sterile, medical-grade product containing 100% active Leptospermum honey in a hydrocolloidal suspension. It is designed to support the removal of necrotic tissue and aid in wound healing. The gel's thicker consistency provides stability, making it suitable for hard-to-dress wounds and those requiring gel or paste applications. It maintains effectiveness even in the presence of wound fluid, blood, and tissue, promoting a moisture-balanced environment conducive to healing. The dressing can be used safely in tunneled wounds or wounds with undermining and is compatible with negative pressure applications. Its osmotic potential draws fluid through the wound to the surface, helping to liquefy non-viable tissue, while its low pH of 3.5-4.5 supports the wound healing process. MEDIHONEY® Gel is non-toxic, natural, and safe for use.

This dressing is indicated for dry to moderately exuding wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers (venous insufficiency ulcers, arterial ulcers, and leg ulcers of mixed etiology), pressure ulcers (partial- and full-thickness), first- and second-degree partial-thickness burns, donor sites, and traumatic or surgical wounds. However, it is contraindicated for individuals with an allergy to honey, on third-degree burns, or to control heavy bleeding. Some patients may experience slight transient stinging upon application; if this persists or cannot be managed with analgesics, the dressing should be removed, and the area cleansed. An increase in exudate may occur due to the high osmolarity; this can be managed with an absorptive cover dressing.

MEDIHONEY® Gel is available in tubes of 0.5 oz and 1.5 oz, as well as a 14 oz jar. It should be stored at temperatures between 50°F and 77°F.
