Actilite Manuka Honey Dressings 10cm x 10cm - Box of 10
Actilite is a light viscose net dressing coated with antibacterial Manuka honey & Manuka oil. The dressing is designed to protect the wound, promote healing and allow the passage of exudate. The antibacterial effect of Actilite has been enhanced by combining high grade antibacterial Manuka oil with Manuka honey. The combination of Manuka honey and Manuka oil has been demonstrated in-vitro to be effective against a number of major wound infecting organisms including MRSA, VRE and Providentia stuartii.
USE
Remove from the outer packet, remove clear films and apply to the wound either side up. Apply a secondary dressing of choice, this can be an absorbent dressing or semi-permeable film dressing depending on the nature of the wound. We recommend Eclypse Adherent or Advazorb Border. Actilite can be used as a primary layer to reduce bacterial burden.
Store at room temperature. Due to the nature of honey, it can solidify at cold temperatures & become liquidized at warm temperatures. If the product has hardened, warm between hands to soften before use. If the product has become too liquidized, place in a colder place such as a fridge for a few minutes.
Top tip
Actilite is a light non adherent, non sticky dressing ideal for infection prevention.

What is Nasal Irrigation?
Nasal irrigation, also known as nasal douching or nasal rinsing, is a safe and effective method of clearing stuffy noses and blocked sinuses using salt water to rinse out the nasal passages. Developed centuries ago in India, this method has been refined over the last decade as it's gained popularity, and the new controlled syringe method has been developed as an easier alternative to the traditional neti pot design. It can be done in seconds in the comfort of your own home, and is now loved by countless sufferers of chronic nasal congestion as an alternative to anti-congestion medication.
