Treating Infected Non-Healing Venous Leg Ulcers with Medical-Grade Honey: A Prospective Case Series.

Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are hard-to-heal wounds and are prone to microbial colonization. Innovative and improved therapies are thus required to resolve local infection and enhance the wound healing process. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of medical-grade honey (MGH) for the treatment of clinically infected and non-healing VLUs.

Use of Medical-Grade Honey to Treat Clinically Infected Heel Pressure Ulcers in High-Risk Patients: A Prospective Case Series.

Management of locally infected heel-pressure ulcers (HPUs) remains challenging, and given the increasing occurrence of infections resistant to antibiotic therapy and patients' unwillingness to surgery, innovative and effective approaches must be considered. Medical-grade honey (MGH) could be an alternative therapeutic approach due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and healing properties. This study aimed to present the high effectiveness and safety of MGH for the conservative treatment of clinically infected HPUs.
