    Abstract

    In recent years, honey has emerged as a versatile product that can be applied to many different types of wound to achieve a variety of outcomes, depending on the requirements of the clinician and patient. However, there is still some confusion about how specific honeys work, their antibacterial potency, and what effects this has on wounds treated with honey products. This article reviews the need for ongoing use of honey in wound care. It focuses on Medihoney, a medically certified honey licensed for professional wound care, and presents an update of the clinical data supporting its use.
