100% medical grade honey helps promote debridement, moist healing environment, reduced wound odor

TheraHoney products contain 100% medical-grade Manuka honey, which is derived from the pollen and nectar of the Leptospermum scoparium plant in New Zealand. The honey comb is used only one time, and once harvested, the honey is carefully filtered, irradiated and tested in a laboratory for maximum efficacy.

The high sugar levels (87%) in TheraHoney result in osmotic pressure that helps promote autolytic debridement of necrotic tissue, lowers the pH of the wound, provides a moist wound healing environment and rapidly reduces wound odor.

The sweet solution for wound care
