ABSTRACT
Except for its benefits as food and medicine, honey has been used
since ancient times as an external remedy in wound care, and has been the subject of numerous studies and
research, that reveal its complex favorable action for wound healing. Based on
scientific research and clinical studies published in literature, this work
presents these various properties
and therapeutic activities of honey dressings. Next, actions and clinical
effects of L-Mesitran range of dressings, based on medicinal honey
and authorized European Union (EU) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA), have
been highlighted in a case series of patients in the Department of Plastic
Surgery, Emergency District Hospital of Ploiesti, Romania, by monitoring the
clinical local evolution of burns and other wounds.
L-Mesitran range of products is based on the
combination of medicinal honey and other ingredients, such as hypoallergenic medicinal lanolin, vitamins C
and E. These sterilized preparations were applied for various skin lesions
after wound cleansing, and exerted a favorable action on healing of burns and
other wounds, sometimes in combination with surgical treatment, being applied
in these cases before or after surgery.
Further clinical studies are needed to establish the
best indications, methods and forms of administration for each type of wounds,
as well as the selection over other types of dressings.
