Product description
Activon Tube contains 100% Manuka
honey with no additives from New Zealand. Our Manuka honey is filtered
and sterilised, making it suitable for application to wounds. Manuka
honey will de-bride and de-slough, eliminate odours and provides a moist
wound healing environment.
Activon Tube is ideal for debriding necrotic tissue, or for topping up
dressings where the honey has been washed away by exudate. Great for
using in cavities, just wash away with saline solution.
Indications
Activon Tube is ideal for
debriding necrotic tissue; it's ideal for topping up dressings where
the honey is washed away or great for using directly into cavities.
Honey can be washed away using normal saline solution. As honey is a
natural product any remaining honey will not have any adverse effects.
Activon Tube may be applied to any wound but especially: Pressure
ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, burns, graft
sites, infected wounds, cavity wounds and sinuses.
Contra-indications

honey is not absorbed into the blood stream, we advise monitoring the
levels of patients with diabetes. Do not use if allergic to bee venom.
Discomfort can be experienced when honey is applied, depending on
sensitivity of the wound it may be necessary to consider an appropriate
level of analgesia. The initial discomfort usually subsides, however if
it does continue, discontinue use and irrigate the wound with saline
solution.
