Absorbent bandage with Manuka honey for advanced wound healing in pets

Kruuse's Manuka AD 5x5cm is a high-tech, sterile veterinary dressing designed for treating wounds in companion animals. Its formula combines absorbent capacity with the natural antibacterial properties of medical-grade manuka honey, providing an optimal environment for the healing of acute and chronic wounds.

Composition and Active Ingredients

• Medical grade manuka honey (100% pure): with unique antibacterial activity (UMF+), derived from Leptospermum scoparium.
• Non-adherent substrate: porous polyester film that prevents the bandage from sticking to the wound.
