What are the benefits of using Activon Tulle?

Activon Tulle leverages the natural healing properties of Manuka honey to encourage faster wound recovery. It aids in the debridement of necrotic tissue, helps reduce inflammation, and sustains an optimal moist environment for healing while effectively managing wound odour.

How does Activon Tulle work?

The Manuka honey in Activon Tulle acts through osmosis, drawing moisture from the wound and creating an environment that is inhospitable to bacteria. At the same time, the knitted viscose mesh allows exudate to pass through, maintaining a balanced moisture level that promotes healing.

Can Activon Tulle be used on all wound types?

Activon Tulle is appropriate for a variety of wounds, including chronic ulcers, burns, and surgical incisions. However, it is best suited for wounds with low to moderate exudate. Heavily exuding wounds may require a more absorbent secondary dressing.

Is Activon Tulle safe for diabetic patients?

Yes, Activon Tulle is safe for use on diabetic patients. The Manuka honey does not get absorbed into the bloodstream, making it suitable for diabetic wound care. Nevertheless, it's advisable to monitor blood glucose levels as a precaution.

How often should Activon Tulle be changed?

The frequency of dressing changes depends on the wound's condition and exudate levels. Typically, Activon Tulle can remain in place for up to 7 days. It should be changed when the dressing becomes saturated or when the honey’s color notably alters.

Are there any side effects or contraindications for using Activon Tulle?

Activon Tulle is generally well-received, though some patients may experience a temporary stinging sensation upon initial application due to the honey's acidity. It is contraindicated for those with known allergies to bee venom. As with any medical treatment, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional before use.
