Product Overview

The Manuka Honey Burn Pad is a sterile, single-use primary wound contact dressing engineered for advanced thermal injury care. It consists of an absorbent woven gauze carrier uniformly impregnated with authentic, medical-grade New Zealand Manuka honey and sealed in protective paper-aluminum packaging. Formulated specifically for partial-thickness burns, scalds, and acute trauma, the Manuka Honey Burn Pad delivers sustained moisture balance, utilizes osmotic fluid dynamics to clear slough, and forms an atraumatic physical barrier that shields raw nerve endings and prevents dressing adhesion.

Key Features

Osmotic fluid outflow mobilization – draws lymphatic drainage into the interface through natural sugar concentrations, supporting autolytic debridement of burn slough.

Controlled acidic surface pH (3.0–7.0) – reduces local wound pH to create an unfavorable environment for microbial proliferation while aiding tissue recovery.

Non-adhering tulle interface – maintains a protective fluid-lipid boundary over damaged dermis, reducing mechanical friction and pain during removal.

Ultra-low bacterial endotoxin limit – strictly validated endotoxin levels (≤ 4.0 EU/piece) help prevent pyrogenic reactions across compromised burn lesions.

Continuous moisture-retaining cushion – prevents exposed burn beds from drying out and crusting, helping support epithelial cell migration.

High chemical purity profile – verified heavy metal thresholds ( ≤20 ppm ) and low ignition residue ( ≤2% ) ensure high biocompatibility across sensitive skin.

Indications & Applications

The Manuka Honey Burn Pad is indicated for acute thermal management, chronic ulcerations, and reconstructive wound recovery:

Burn & Scald Care: First-degree burns, superficial and partial-thickness second-degree burns, liquid scalds, and solar erythema.
Surgical & Harvest Sites: Skin graft donor sites, graft recipient beds, and post-debridement excision wounds.
Chronic Impaired Healing: Diabetic foot ulcers, pressure injuries (Stages II–IV), and venous stasis ulcers.
Traumatic Dermal Injuries: Friction burns, skin tears, superficial lacerations, and non-healing abrasions.

Clinical Guidance & Safety Boundaries:

Must be secured with a secondary absorbent cover (e.g., secondary foam pad, film dressing, or retention gauze bandage).
Contraindicated for full-thickness third-degree burns, uncontrolled active hemorrhages, or individuals with known hypersensitivity to honey.
Recommended wear time is 1 to 3 days depending on exudate volume; maximum single wear duration should not exceed 7 days, and cumulative therapy must not exceed 30 days.
