| description | Honey has been used as dressing material for various types of wound.The orthopaedic
department of the school of Medical sciences , Un1versiti Sains Malaysia have
experience using honey on recalcitrant wound at the foot of diabetic patients. An
anecdotal observation is the promotion of healing has been hastened in these types of
wound.Worldwide, similar finding have been noted with various types of wound treated
with honey dressing. The New Zealand 'Manuka' Honey has been extensively studied
and is claimed to have superior chemical desloughing properties and also as a .good
agent for promotion of granulationThe 'Manuka' honey from New Zealand is at present
being promoted and being sold as a medical product for wound dressing with
substantial research to back the manufacturers' claims At present the local Tualang
Honey has been discovered to be consistent in its content and has a potential to be
promoted as 'medical grade' honey.
This study was part of a group of studies done by the honey research cluster/ group. It
was a head to head randomized single blinded clinical trial comparing the granulation
tissue promoting effects of Tualang Honey as compared to the gold standard widely
acclaimed Manuka honey. The general objective was to prove that the malaysian
Tualang honey was comparable to Manuka honey to treat recalcitrant wounds (the
example wound chosen was a diabetic foot ulcer). The study aim is so that at one time
the Malaysian honey can be marketed as medical grade honey. |
