L-Mesitran Soft

L-Mesitran Soft contains: 40% medical grade honey, medical grade hypoallergenic lanolin (Medilan), propylene glycol, PEG 4000 and vitamins C & E.
Hydro-active antibacterial wound gel.
Due to the use of natural ingredients, each batch may vary in colour (yellow-brown), viscosity and may contain visible sugar crystals. These variances will not affect the efficacy and use of the product.

When L-Mesitran is in contact with the wound, fluid is drawn from the surrounding tissues, this creates a moist wound healing environment. This stimulates the wound healing process by facilitating autolysis of necrotic and devitalised material, aids wound bed preparation and promotes epithelization.
L-Mesitran: has antibacterial properties; dilutes gradually and can be removed easily as per local wound cleansing protocol; prevents the secondary dressing adhering to the wound bed.

Superficial and acute wounds e.g. cuts, abrasions and donor sites. Superficial and partial thickness burns (1st & 2nd degree). Chronic wounds e.g. pressure ulcers, venous, arterial and diabetic ulcers. Fungating wounds (to help deodorise and debride). Colonised acute wounds and (postoperative) surgical wounds.

Application to the wound: Use a sterile spatula to distribute a thin layer of L-Mesitran either directly to the wound area and the surrounding tissue or on to sterile gauze first.
Cover and secure with the appropriate secondary dressing depending on the amount of wound fluids.
Inspect the wound and the surrounding tissue regularly, as per local protocols.
Frequency of use: This depends upon the amount of exudate and the needs of the wound. Re-apply the product when it has dissolved (± once every 24-48 hours).

No contraindications are known to date. Do not use on patients who are sensitive to the product or any of its components.

Always consult a doctor for wound management advice.
Do not use new products that are damaged or expired.
Inspect and clean the wound according to local protocol.
Due to autolytic debridement the wound may appear to increase in size after the first dressing changes. This is normal and occurs as the devitalised tissue is removed, preparing the wound bed for healing.
In the event of intolerance to L-Mesitran or one of its components, remove it using appropriate techniques and clean the area carefully.
L-Mesitran is for single patient use, the product may only be re-used with the same patient.
Always re-seal the product after use.
