Brand Name: MediHoney Product Name: MediHoney HCS Sheet Dressing with Leptospermum Model/Catalog Number: 31612, 31622, 31644 Product Description: MEDIHONEY HCS SHEET DRESSING with LEPTOSPERMUM HONEY is a moist wound dressing made of Leptospermum Honey (+15) in combination with a hydrogel collodial gelling agent. The gelling agent is contained within the dressing mass. The dressing contains 63%, by weight, Leptospermum Honey. As wound exudate is absorbed, the dressing which has a low pH and high osmolarity forms a gel. This assists in maintaining a moist environment for optimal wound healing, aids in autolytic debridement, and allows for non-traumatic removal. This product is an occlusive dressing, and does require a secondary dressing.
Packaging failures were identified which could lead to a breach in the sterile barrier.
