Key Properties
When the gel is in contact with the wound, fluid is extracted from the surrounding tissues through osmosis creating a moist healing environment. Moist wound healing is known to optimise the wound healing process because this is an ideal physiological environment for the cells(a). This environment also:
Facilitates autolysis
Promotes better epithelial cell migration
Is an excellent debriding agent (autolysis)
Is painless in contrast to other honey products
Reduces malodour
Will dilute gradually and can be removed easily with a wound cleanser
Sanoskin® Melladerm® is a primary wound dressing that can be combined with most commonly used secondary dressings, such as Sanoskin® foam or Sanoskin® NET plus many other wound dressings and will fit easily into any wound protocol.
Sanoskin® Melladerm® can be applied following light therapy treatment with the Sanoskin® Photizo® LED Light Therapy Device.
Directions for Use
For single patient use only
Remove lid, clean the mouth of the tube and the top of the lid with an alcohol swab.
Push the top of the lid into the silver coating to break the seal.
Squeeze the tube and fill the wound, taking care not to touch the wound.
Use a (sterile) spatula when necessary.
Place a dressing on top of the gel to cover the wound.
Sanoskin® Melladerm® Plus can stay on the wound for up to 48 hours on average. Renew the gel in the wound as soon as the gel has disappeared.
Store at room temperature, maximum 25ºC / 77ºF
Case Study
Patient – age 78 female with large skin tear, underlying venous insufficiency and multi medication
Day 1
Wound needed debriding and cleaning. Treatment commenced with Sanoskin® Melladerm® and covered with a non woven gauze dressing.
Day 40
Wound has granulated and new epidermis is clearly visible. A combination of Melladerm® and Sanoskin® NET is now used.
Day 49
Wound almost healed after 50 days. The patient did not report pain or any discomfort. It took another 10 days for the wound to completely heal.
Day 49
Sanoskin® NET is cut to the wound size and Sanoskin® Melladerm® was applied daily on top of the NET which can stay in place for 5 days. A simple non woven gauze dressing was then used to cover the wound.
Contraindications
No contraindications are known to date. Do not use on individuals with a known sensitivity to the gel or its components. Do not use if package is damaged or opened. Do not use the gel in cases where the patient is very susceptible to an infection e.g. in very large burn wounds.
The gel may contain sugar crystals which will however not affect the effectiveness and/or application of the gel. Due to the use of natural products, each batch of gel may have a slightly different colour (white – yellow – brown).
