Why choose TheraHoney Products

TheraHoney Dressing contains sterile, medical-grade Manuka honey, derived from the pollen and nectar of the Leptospermum scoparium plant in New Zealand. Manuka honey is carefully filtered, irradiated and tested in a laboratory for high efficacy and contains no fillers or additive.

The Role of Sugar in Autolytic Debridement:
The high sugar levels (87%) in TheraHoney result in osmotic activity that helps promote natural (autolytic) debridement to clear away necrotic tissue, maintain a moist wound environment conducive to wound healing, and reduce wound odor.

The Impact of Manuka Honey on Wound pH:
Chronic, non-healing wounds often have an elevated alkaline environment. Lowering the pH can aid in wound healing, and the use of Manuka honey dressings is associated with a statistically significant decrease in wound pH and a reduction in wound size.

Reduced Necrotic Tissue and Wound Size:
Using TheraHoney Gel, wounds significantly improve in terms of necrotic tissue reduction and wound surface reduction over an average of 4 weeks.
