| Product Description |
Honey has been used for centuries in the treatment of minor wounds and burns. Honey has always been highly regarded in Western herbal medicine, and now science is also supporting the use of honey in healing minor wounds. Honey has been found to contain antibacterial properties, including an enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide, a proven antiseptic. Waikato University has also identified an antibacterial property in addition to peroxide called UMF* (Unique Manuka Factor). UMF is only present in some Manuka Honey produced in New Zealand, making it special amongst the honeys of the world. Comvita Wound Care 18 is guaranteed to have a UMF level of 18 , or higher.
*UMF is a registered trademark and indicates the antibacterial strength of the "Unique Manuka Factor"
UMF is the Authorised Seal of the Active Manuka Honey Industry.
Factor 18+ is the most powerful Manuka Honey in the Comvita range and is specifically for external use where its strong anti-bacterial activity can be highly effective.

| Directions |
- For minor wounds and burns, spread honey onto a dressing pad rather than directly on the wound, ensuring there is enough honey for even coverage of the wound surface. Alternatively, use the recently developed "Apinate Dressing", which are supplied in a box of 3 10cm x 10cm dressings (Xynergy Product Code: VMAD3)
- Daily dressing changes are usual, but up to three times daily may be needed for heavily weeping wounds.
- If the dressing sticks to the wound, this usually indicates that more frequent changes of dressing are needed.
- The amount of honey required on the wound depends on the amount of fluid seeping from the wound. More honey is required on deeper infections or if there is a lot of fluid produced from the wound.
- As the wound heals, there will be less fluid produced by the wound so the amount of honey required and the frequency of dressing changes may be reduced accordingly.
- Absorbent dressings will help to prevent honey oozing out. However, waterproof dressings are preferable because they will help keep the honey in contact with the wound. Adhesive tape or bandages can help keep the dressings in place.
