Abstract
This is a retrospective study of 2,252 chronic wounds in four rehab and skilled nursing facilities comparing wound healing rates for nine diff erent wound care products over a 10 year period. Th e data clearly demonstrates superior healing rates for Manuka Pli when compared with other products such as Santyl, silver products, other manuka honey products, and vac therapy among others. Th e study also indicates superior debriding capabilities of Manuka pli when compared with santyl and other debriding agents as measured by improved wound surface area aft er 15 treatments. With concerns about biofi lm formation and reduction to assist wound healing it should also be noted that Manuka Pli when compared to silver dressings shows impressive antimicrobial activity. Given the superior outcomes and the lower expense of Manuka Pli, this product should be the preferred wound care product from beginning to end in the treatment of chronic wounds in rehab and skilled nursing facilities.
