What is DS31022-Box Derma Sciences MedihoneyCalcium Alginate Dressing With Manuka/Leptospermum Honey, 2 x 2?

The DS31022-Box Derma Sciences Medihoney Calcium Alginate Dressing With Manuka/Leptospermum Honey, 2 x 2 is a sterile, single-use wound care solution designed to support natural healing in chronic and acute wounds. Combining calcium alginate fibers with medical-grade Manuka honey, this dressing creates a moist environment that encourages autolytic debridement and reduces bacterial load. It is particularly effective for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate, including pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers. The honey’s natural acidity helps maintain an optimal pH for healing while providing a protective barrier against infection.

Key features

• Natural Antimicrobial Action — Medical-grade Manuka honey inhibits bacteria without antibiotics.
• Exudate Management — Calcium alginate fibers absorb fluid and form a gel to maintain moisture balance.
• Non-Adherent Design — Minimizes trauma during dressing changes.
• Sterile and Single-Use — Ensures safety and reduces infection risk.
• Occlusive Protection — Shields wounds from external contaminants.
• Biocompatible Materials — Well-tolerated on sensitive or compromised skin.
• Supports Autolytic Debridement — Promotes natural removal of dead tissue.
