Algivon

Manuka honey brings the following properties:

• Aids in the reduction of bioburden
• Osmotic effect, drawing harmful tissue away from the wound bed
• Maintains the ideal moist wound healing environment

Algivon is a soft alginate dressing impregnated with 100% medical grade Manuka honey. The alginate fibres enable a sustained, slower release of honey. Algivon is an ideal choice for wetter wounds as the alginate has a small capacity to absorb, meaning the honey isn’t washed away with exudate therefore staying at the wound site for longer. The dressing is very soft and conformable, ideal for cavities and debriding and de-sloughing large areas of necrotic and sloughy tissue. 

Top tip
Algivon is great for packing sinuses/cavities. It's also absorbent so good for wetter wounds as the honey stays at the wound site for longer.
