Full details
This guide is for individuals and healthcare professionals using Activon Tulle Manuka Honey Dressings to promote wound healing. The primary benefit is creating a moist environment and providing antibacterial action, which is particularly useful for granulating or shallow wounds, and the debridement of necrotic or sloughy tissue. However, it's important to be aware of potential allergic reactions, though these are rare.
