…Melladerm® PLUS is intended for use in all types of wounds,

including burns and is derived from Bulgarian (BULGARIA H) mountain

flower honey. Bulgaria H has been selected on the basis of its excellent

wound healing properties. Melladerm® PLUS is a proprietary wound

ointment/gel that contains 45% BULGARIA H and a mixture of ingredients

including glycerin and polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG 4000) to make the

honey dressing more user friendly. PEG 4000 is a blend of water soluble

polymers and its use as an additive to honey has been assessed by

Subrahmanyam (1996).

 

 

 

Clinical evaluation reports prepared as part of a submission for CE

marking on Melladerm Plus demonstrate healing without the disadvantage

of occasionally incurring pain following application (Vandeputte

2007)…
