What are the benefits of using Activon Tulle?
Activon Tulle leverages the natural healing properties of Manuka honey to promote faster wound healing. It establishes an optimal moist environment, supports debridement, and provides antimicrobial protection. The non-adherent mesh design facilitates easy application and removal, reducing pain and trauma during dressing changes.
How does Activon Tulle work?
Activon Tulle works by delivering the therapeutic benefits of Manuka honey directly to the wound bed. The honey's high sugar content and low pH make it challenging for bacteria to thrive, while its osmotic effect draws fluid from the wound, aiding in debridement. The knitted viscose mesh allows excess exudate to pass through, maintaining balanced moisture levels.
Is Activon Tulle suitable for all wound types?
Activon Tulle is versatile and can be applied to various wound types, including pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers. However, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before use, particularly for deep or heavily exuding wounds, to determine the most appropriate dressing for specific conditions.
Can Activon Tulle be used on infected wounds?
Yes, Activon Tulle can be applied to infected wounds. The Manuka honey within the dressing has natural antibacterial properties that help address infection. However, if a wound infection is suspected, it's important to seek medical advice, as additional treatment may be required.
Are there any side effects or contraindications for using Activon Tulle?
While Activon Tulle is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience a stinging sensation upon initial application due to the honey's acidity. This usually subsides quickly. It should not be used on those with known allergies to bee products or honey. Diabetic patients should monitor blood glucose levels, although the honey is not typically absorbed into the bloodstream.
Usage and Instructions
Typically, Activon Tulle can be left in place for up to 7 days. However, it's recommended to inspect the wound regularly and change the dressing when it becomes saturated or as advised by a healthcare provider.
