Dermiel Pad

Dermiel Pad

Dermiel Pads from AST Pharma are sterile wound covers with honey. These Pads consist of gauze that is impregnated with a small amount of liquid, creating a moist wound environment. This liquid is based on honey and glycerol. The coating on the Dermiel Pad ensures that it does not stick to the wound. This coating is breathable, allowing the wound liquid to be absorbed by the gauze. Dermiel Pads are suitable for covering superficial wounds. A box of Dermiel Pads contains ten pads.

Honey

Thanks to the combination of a high sugar content, enzymes and a low pH value, honey has a healing effect. The sugars in honey help keep the wound moist, allowing it to close more easily. When the enzymes in the bee product come into contact with the wound fluid, they produce a small amount of hydrogen peroxide. This dose is too small to do any damage to the wound or skin, but it is enough to kill bacteria. Another reason for the healing effect of the honey is its low pH. Enzymes have an effect on the sugars, creating an acid environment in which bacteria cannot survive. In addition, a low pH helps to strengthen the skin. Honey has a healing effect, but is not a replacement for antibiotics.

Use

If necessary, clean the wound with a suitable product. Take the gauze out of the packaging and spread it over the wound. Secure the wound pad with adhesive porous tape or gauze bandage. Replace the Dermiel Pad with a new pad after a maximum of two days.
