Supports wound healing
WoundReady combines the unique powers of Australian Manuka oil and bee propolis with saline in a solution to cleanse wounds, overcome inflammation and assist in the wound healing process.
Wound irrigation involves the flow of a solution across an open wound surface to improve wound hydration, remove contaminants and pathogens, facilitate debridement and assist in visual examination. Irrigating with WoundReady achieves all this as well as being non-cytotoxic, reduces pathogenic bacteria and does not induce bacterial resistance. WoundReady is non-sensitising, cost effective and stable with a long shelf life.

In general, it is recommended to follow Standards for Wound Prevention and Management (Third Edition) published by Wound Australia. However, the following variations will apply when using our product:
1. Superficial wounds/abrasions: cover the wound for three to five minutes with a gauze pad soaked in WoundReady, remove the gauze and then cover it with an appropriate dressing.
2. Acute deeper wounds: Irrigate using WoundReady, wait for ten seconds and then cover it with an appropriate dressing.
3. Ulcers: Cover the ulcer for three to five minutes with a gauze pad soaked in WoundReady and then irrigate using WoundReady. Debride if necessary and then apply an appropriate dressing.
All wounds should be irrigated [unless contraindicated], as it is part of the recommended treatment of wound beds.
