- Vivamel® medicinal chestnut honey promotes active deep cleansing of the wound due to its high sugar content. Accumulated fluid is mobilised, and swelling and oedema subside.
- Vivamel® medicinal chestnut honey combats bacteria not only through its osmotic effect; other factors and ingredients also have bacteriostatic or bactericidal properties (including against MRSA and VRE) or prevent the formation of biofilm.
- Wounds display swelling, pain and redness as signs of inflammation. Vivamel® medicinal chestnut honey contains antioxidants that can effectively alleviate inflammatory reactions.
- Vivamel® medicinal chestnut honey promotes a physiologically moist wound environment and supplies the healing wound directly with high concentrations of the minerals and amino acids necessary for tissue regeneration.
- Wound odour is caused by the bacterial breakdown of tissue proteins. When Vivamel® medicinal chestnut honey is applied, microorganisms preferentially utilise the sugar contained in Vivamel® and convert it into odourless compounds.
- Wounds with fibrinous tissue
- Wounds with necrotic tissue
- Deep wounds (in combination with medical honey from a tube)
- Colonised wounds, infected wounds
- Wounds with a strong odour
Dosage form
Directions for use
- First, rinse the wound with lukewarm running drinking water or isotonic saline solution (mild soap may also be used).
- Apply the alginate dressing to the cleaned wound so that it lies in close contact with it, ensuring the best possible bacteriostatic and osmotic effect.
- Vivamel requires a secondary dressing and a securing strip. The dressing may extend beyond the wound edges, as the honey protects the surrounding tissue.
- The alginate dressing can be cut to size or folded.
- It is recommended that, at the start of treatment, the alginate dressing be changed every other day; in cases of heavy exudate, even daily. Frequent changes of the dressing for wounds with heavy exudate increase the effectiveness of the treatment.
- For wounds with low exudate, it is sufficient to change the dressing twice a week.
