Abstract
Four different brands of honey wound dressings are now on sale internationally as registered medical devices, all made from manuka honey because of its well-established reputation as an antibacterial agent. What is not so well known is that manuka honey also has a potent anti-inflammatory activity, and that this is very important in the treatment of wounds.
