Clinical evaluation of Triticum honey-based products for lower extremity wounds in home care setting

July 4, 2011 - PRLog -- In this article the author evaluated the honey-based products (L-Mesitran) in a home care setting over a five-year period. In that time 22 cases of lower extremity wounds were treated with L-Mesitran. All retrospectively selected patients were initially treated with povidone iodine or fusidic acid, which resulted in delayed wound healing. Fifty percent of the wounds were infected. Treatment with L-Mesitran resulted in removal of infection and wound healing.

The results of this evaluation indicate that honey-based products are antibacterial, help to debride the wound and promote wound healing, and are safe and easy to use as well as being cost-effective.
