Experts at the Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital Wound Healing Center are using a specialized medical grade honey product called Medihoney™ which has been approved by the FDA for chronic and acute wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers. The wound dressings contain active leptospermum honey, a unique honey from New Zealand and Australia that has beneficial plant-derived properties. Recent tests have revealed that honey contains antibacterial agents and leptospermum honey yields more antibacterial activity than honey from outer sources. "Dressings made from leptospermum honey offer a two-fold benefit in wound healing: they help decrease bacteria and keep the wound moist to promote healing while also aiding our ability to remove unhealthy tissue around the wound," said Dr. Rhonda Quick, M.D., a vascular surgeon who serves as the Medical Director for St. Mary’s Hospital Wound Healing Center. The effects of the dressing last up to a week reducing the need for more frequent visits to the center. Medihoney™ dressings have been shown in several large randomized controlled studies to be effective on hard-to-heal wounds. They are among the highly specialized wound care methodologies and treatments offered at Carondelet Wound Healing Center which also include hyperbaric oxygen therapy, negative pressure wound therapy, bio-engineered tissues, biosynthetic dressings and growth factor therapies. Chronic wounds are those which have not healed or responded to previous treatments in 30 days. High risk groups such as the elderly and cancer survivors who have undergone radiation are often faced with slow-to-heal wounds. Other factors that effect healing include diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and vascular disease.   For more information on the treatment of chronic or infected wounds, contact Carondelet St. Mary’s Wound Healing Center located at 1802 W. St. Mary’s Road or call 520-205-7520. Press Release Tue, 03 Aug 2010 21:19:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:11
