Manuka honey dressings are commonly used across a range of wound types where a moist healing environment and gentle debridement are the goals:

• Pressure injuries and diabetic foot ulcers
• Venous and arterial leg ulcers
• First- and second-degree partial-thickness burns
• Surgical wounds, donor sites, and traumatic wounds
• Sloughy or malodorous wounds needing debridement support

The high sugar concentration of Manuka honey draws fluid and debris away from the wound through osmosis, helping to loosen necrotic tissue while keeping the bed moist. Its naturally low pH supports an environment conducive to healing, and the honey helps reduce wound odor—a meaningful quality-of-life benefit for patients with chronic ulcers. Because the gel is applied directly, it fills irregular wound shapes and is easily rinsed away at dressing changes.

For most wounds, TheraHoney gel is paired with a secondary dressing to hold it in place and manage exudate. As with any advanced wound care product, application frequency should follow a clinician's assessment and care plan.
