  Links Medical Products Inc ([LMP] Irvine, CA), a leader in the manufacture and marketing of innovative products for use in both acute and long-term care announced FDA approval for the sale of MANUKApli^®Sterile Wound Dressing. MANUKApli is 100% medical-grade Manuka honey in an easy-to-use applicator tube. The honey represents a pure, all-natural solution to manage and treat wounds and burns that are not producing excessive exudate. Extensive research demonstrates that medical-grade Manuka honey offers bacteriostatic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties to promote accelerated wound healing. Manuka honey also maintains a moist healing environment and helps clean and debride wounds while controlling malodors. The honey is designed for ease of use. It can be applied either directly to the wound bed or to a primary dressing. It is ideal for a variety of partial- or full-thickness wounds with low to moderate levels of exudate, including burns, skin tears, and small abrasions.

  Part of LMP’s ManukaMed^®brand of advanced wound care (AWC) dressings; great care is taken to ensure that the products are of the highest standard in purity and bioactivity. The ManukaMed brand of medical-grade Manuka honey is finely filtered to remove all processing particles and sterilized by gamma irradiation to eliminate bacteria, microorganisms, and spores. Gamma irradiation also assures that the honey retains its biologic activity. LMP maintains complete traceability and control over the production of its medical-grade Manuka honey—from beehive to final product. This level of control is unique among Manuka honey companies who often buy honey on the open market or contract with multiple suppliers who may not have similar rigorous product quality controls.
