  • Wound healing effect of alginate dressings with medical honey [Elektronski vir]
    Kralj Kunčič, Marjetka ...
    We report results of a clinical study, where the alginate dressings with Slovenian chestnut honey were used in treatment of chronic wounds. Our hypothesis was that dressings with honey enhance ... healing of wounds, which did not heal with alginate dressings without honey. Alginate honey dressings cleaned the infected wounds after 5 changing; epithelisation from granulated wound edge was promoted. Debridement, offloading and infection were successfully controlled. Observations demonstrate that honey in combination with alginate has positive impact on chronic wounds healing. All data support the concept that medical textiles with natural antimicrobial substances can be applied for medical purposes.
