Objective: To determine the qualitative bacteriological changes that

occurred during a four-week treatment period with either manuka honey or

a hydrogel dressing. This was the secondary outcome of a randomised

controlled trial (RCT) that compared the efficacy of the two treatments

in desloughing venous leg ulcers…

 

 

 

Conclusion: Manuka honey was effective in eradicating MRSA from 70% of

chronic venous ulcers. The potential to prevent infection is increased

when wounds are desloughed and MRSA is eliminated. This can be

beneficial to prevent cross-infection.
