“When my patient presented with a penetrating wound to her flexor tendon sheath, that was full of pus I wasn’t very optimistic about her prognosis. I became more disheartened when a flesh eating Staph Aureus was diagnosed and large amounts of the surrounding tissue started to slough off and die. This bug is particularly nasty because it creates a biofilm and kills the tissue. This means standard antibiotics can’t get to the bugs since there is no longer a blood supply. I started applying DermelVet™ medical grade Mānuka honey daily at each bandage change because of its ability to dissolve biofilm and stimulate granulation tissue. I was wowed at the results as each week the wound started looking healthier, with less purulent exudate. The wound started to granulate at a rapid rate and is now nearly fully healed. I am still amazed at these results”.

“The team here at Stonewall Stud have found the medical honey to be quite beneficial in the healing of a variety of ailments. The honey is easy to use and we have had excellent results on all sorts of cuts, abrasions and burns. The added benefit of using the medical honey on our racing team is the fact that it isn’t a prohibitive substance and we can use it close to race day”.

“It has been of great help to be able to use an effective barrier and preventative treatment for wounds on the equine performance animal that contains nothing that would trigger a positive result should the horse be tested for the presence of prohibited substances. Both trainer and vet can sleep easily without worrying as can happen with some commonly used preparations.
