DR4200 - 5 4 in x 4 in dressings per box. This listing is for ONE box. It is well established that Manuka Honey contains high levels of certain antioxidants, a wide range of nutritional minerals, amino acids and vitamins which can also promote wound healing by supplying glucose to keratinocytes, stimulate the production of cytokines and control the inflammation stage of the wound healing process. Honey based products exert an antibacterial effect without the risk of antibiotic resistance. Honey has been shown to reduce both acute and chronic inflammation. A reduction in inflammation can reduce both pain and edema. This promotes better healing. With the reduction in inflammation; we also see less hypertrophic scarring as a result of decreased levels of fibroblasts and collagen fibers. Honey facilitates wound debridement in a number of ways, including autolytic action of tissue proteases, strong osmotic action pulling lymph fluid from the base of the wound bed separating and lifting off slough and necrotic tissue. Honey is effective in odor control because it is successful in the reduction of anerobic bacteria in the wound bed. With fewer anerobic bacteria, there is a reduction in odor. Secondly, as amino acids from decomposing serum and tissue proteins interact with honey, glucose is produced as opposed to the lactic acid. It is the lactic acid that produces the ammonia, amines, and sulfur compounds that are known to be very malodorous.
