Derma Medihoney Barrier Cream 50g - Pack of 2

Product Information

Change the dressing as soon as the secondary bandage reaches its absorbent capacity, or as prescribed by your loved one’s primary care physician. Keep in mind that it’s best that MEDIHONEY be on the skin for 12-24 hours at a time for maximum effectiveness. The fitting instructions are so easy to follow with great illustrations that helped me to feel confident in the fitting process.

Cover the MEDIHONEY gel, paste, or alginate dressing with an absorbent sterile, secondary bandage or a compression garment. If you have any questions, please reach out to our friendly, supportive Care Team at your earliest convenience. Please note that if the area is not clean and dry, a layer of residual Medihoney will prevent Cavilon from sticking as well as it otherwise would, even when it appears that the Medihoney has been absorbed by the skin.
