100 McKesson Calcium Alginate Dressing 4x4.75

MEDIHONEY Calcium Alginate Dressing with Active Leptospermum Honey. 4 inch x 5 inch. MEDIHONEY is a medical-grade honey derived from the pollen and nectar of the Leptospermum species of plant in New Zealand and Australia. It is unique among all type of honey in that it maintains its effectiveness even in the presence of wound fluid. As wound fluid enters the dressing, the honey is released while the dressing absorbs and forms a gel.
