The honey used in these formulas is processed from a patented ozonation method which protects the healing properties of the honey.
"Medical honey is one of the antimicrobial products used for patients with critically colonised/infected wounds.
Unfortunately the majority of patients experience pain when the honey is initially applied, for some the pain can be so severe that treatment has to be discontinued.
With this in mind and with the consent of one of my honey-sensitive patients, Melladerm Plus was applied to a large area of chronic lower leg ulceration. The patient reported no pain on application or during the initial post dressing period."

It is now widely known that medical products containing honey may actively promote the wound-healing process. Research to support the clinical observations has mainly focused on honey’s antibacterial properties and is an effective treatment for infected wounds. Studies have shown that certain types of honey stop bacteria from growing – even strains such as MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).
