Derma Sciences Medihoney HCS Wound Dressing Indications

Hydrogel Dressings provide a moist environment conducive to wound healing and is indicated for lightly to moderately exuding wounds such as:

Diabetic foot ulcers
Leg ulcers (venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers and leg ulcers of mixed etiology)
Pressure ulcers / sores (partial and full thickness)
1st and 2nd degree partial thickness burns
Donor sites, and traumatic and surgical wounds

Prior to application, cleanse the wound area as necessary and protect vulnerable wound edges with Medihoney Barrier Cream
Use an appropriately sized Medihoney HCS
The outer edge of the dressing should extend at least 3/4 inch beyond the wound edges
Open pouch and remove the dressing
Remove the bottom liners from the dressing to expose the wound contact surface
Position dressing so that the center island completely covers the wound area and apply
Smooth all edges and corners to ensure the dressing properly adheres to the skin
Remove top plastic liners
For Medihoney HCS Non-Adhesive, dressings may be cut with sterile scissors or placed on top of one another to cover wound margins
Cover the dressing, or secure in place, with an appropriate secondary dressing
Dressing change:
- Remove the dressing gently
- If the dressing is difficult to remove, moisten with saline or water
Discard the old dressing in a disposal bag
Note: Medihoney HCS Adhesive does not require a secondary dressing

The frequency of change depends on the condition of the patient and the amount of wound exudate
Re-apply Medihoney HCS when the dressing has reached its absorption capacity or as directed by a wound care professional
There may be increased levels of exudate upon initial use of the dressing so protect the peri-wound Skin Barrier Cream

If the Medihoney Wound dressing is not easily removed, soak with sterile saline or water until it is removed without difficulty
Due to the Medihoney HCS low pH, some patients may notice a slight transient stinging. If stinging does not stop or persists and cannot be managed with an analgesic, remove the dressing, cleanse the area, and discontinue the use of Medihoney dressing.
During initial use of the dressing (depending on wound exudate levels, interstitial fluid, and edema surrounding the wound), the dressings high osmotic potential may contribute to increased exudate, which could lead to maceration if the excess moisture is not managed appropriately. Manage additional moisture by adding an absorptive cover dressing and/or adjusting the frequency of dressing change. Protect the peri-wound skin by applying a skin barrier protectant to the surrounding skin.
During the healing process, it is common for non-viable tissue to be removed from the wound resulting in an initial increase in wound size. Although an initial increase in wound size may be attributed to the normal removal of non-viable tissue, consult a healthcare professional if the wound continues to grow larger after the first few dressing changes.

Do not use Medihoney Dressing on -

With patients that have a known sensitivity to honey or any other component present in Medihoney HCS dressing
