Activon Tulle: Effective Wound Care with Manuka Honey

Activon Tulle is a triple layer knitted viscose net dressing that utilizes the antibacterial properties of Manuka honey to promote wound healing and tissue repair.

Application and Use

Place Activon Tulle either side down onto the wound surface, and dressings can be placed side by side to cover large wound areas or cut to size. For larger areas, unfold the dressing to reduce the concentration of honey at the wound site.

Choose a secondary dressing based on the tissue type within the wound bed and level of exudate. For high-exudate wounds, consider using an additional highly absorbent dressing, such as the Eclypse super absorbent dressing.

Storage and Handling

Store Activon Tulle at room temperature. Due to the nature of honey, it can solidify at cold temperatures and become more liquid at warm temperatures. If the product has hardened, warm between hands to soften before use. If the product has become too liquid, place in a colder place, such as a fridge, for a few minutes.

Top Tip

If discomfort is experienced by the patient, consider unfolding the Activon Tulle to decrease the amount of honey. Alternatively, Algivon may be a solution, as it releases honey at a slower rate into the wound.

Indications

Activon Tulle is ideal for granulating or shallow wounds, and is a good choice when debriding or de-sloughing small areas of necrotic or sloughy tissue. It can be applied to any wound, including:

• Pressure ulcers
• Leg ulcers
• Diabetic ulcers
• Surgical wounds
• Burns
• Graft sites
• Infected wounds
• Cavity wounds and sinuses

Contra-indications

Although the honey is not absorbed into the blood stream, monitor the levels of patients with diabetes. Do not use if allergic to bee venom. Discomfort can be experienced when honey is applied, depending on sensitivity of the wound; consider an appropriate level of analgesia if necessary.
