Absorbine Silver Honey Rapid Wound Repair Ointment 2oz Tube, Medical Grade Manuka Honey & MicroSilver BG

I must have searched far & wide across the whole of Amazon's product catalogue looking for a product that contained Manuka honey & non-colloidal silver (FYI, colloidal silver is a gimmick in ointments--always look for products that contain "micro-silver" or "nano-silver", and avoid ointments or creams that contain "colloidal silver" for treating open skin sores or wounds) but, for the life of me, could only find products that contained either silver OR Manuka honey, but not BOTH.And then I stumbled across this product marketed as a wound treatment for horses & other animals. Despite that, it was the only product I could find on Amazon that met all of my requirements; you see, my hubby has 3 very large irregular necrotic skin ulcers on his upper thigh with mild exudate, one of which was borderline-infected, all of which just REFUSED to heal. He used surgical iris scissors to cut away as much of the tissue necrosis as he could, but then while one wound would begin to dry out, another would have moderate exudate leaking from the wound, risking mastication. I needed a product that would encourage autolytic debridement of the wound, allowing the body to rid itself of the dead tissue on its own, while also inhibiting any further growth of harmful bacteria that could cause infection. Manuka honey is well known to encourage autolytic debridement of necrotic wounds, while also keeping the wound from drying out and/or potentially masticating, and silver provides a well-known barrier against bacterial growth. While I had no trouble finding products containing either Manuka honey or silver, as I said before, this was the only product I could find that contained both, so I reached out to the manufacturers & decided to give it a try.The seller spoke to the manufacturer & stated that, while they had not personally conducted any studies with their product on humans, they did refer me to other studies that had been peer-reviewed detailing the effects of using Manuka honey on necrotic wounds to encourage autolytic debridement. Satisfied, my hubby began applying this to his wounds twice a day during bandage changes, which consisted of a layer of Silver Honey, followed by a Silver Calcium Alginate bandage under a foam dressing to absorb any excess exudate from the wounds.Within one day the skin ulcers were already showing signs of healing that they had never displayed before. Manuka honey encourages the body to produce plasmin, which is generally cut off in wound repair of large open & necrotic tissue wounds. The plasmin, in turn, begins digesting & dissolving the remaining necrotic tissue, debriding the wound. Once the necrosis has been removed, it encourages the growth of new tissue to fill in the ulcer. By day 5 most of the necrosis was gone across all three wounds; by day 10 the exudate from the worst wound ceased. By day 15, today, all of the necrosis is gone & new, pink tissue has begun filling in the ulcers up to skin-level.This, after more than a month of just continued, progressive worsening of these wounds. While they're not closed yet, they are well on their way to being healed, thank goodness!Is it expensive for what you get? Yes, absolutely it is, especially when you're paying, essentially, $11 per oz. But will it work when all other products have failed? Absolutely, yes. Get this if you have especially bad wounds, or just want to keep this on hand in a wound care kit somewhere-its almost better than Neosporin, on my opinion, despite the higher cost.Either way, for sure, it is a product of either first or last resort--no in-between. I'll swear by this product over as many holy books as necessary 😂 it's JUST THAT GOOD. So, if you have an especially bad wound that just won't heal, definitely get this product --it really will surprise you.

My great dane somehow gashed his leg open....right above the elbow. Luckily it didnt get any important tendons or muscles but there was a nice sized hole and we couldnt get to an emergency vet within the time frame for stitches because there are none close to us. We bought this ointment, kept the wound clean, kept this stuff on it, and kept it bandaged. We tried other ointments and sprays too but you could actually see the difference overnight with this stuff. Its absolutely amazing! A definite life saver!

Love this product! I use it instead of antibiotic ointment to help heal cuts and scrapes. I feel like it is way more effective and cuts down the healing time. I have also used it on rashes.

This right here is the best thing ever literally! My Doberman gashed herself on the fence which left it looking like a big wound where someone can stick their finger in it. Well guess what instead of taking her to the emergency room and paying thousands of dollars I decided to treat it myself with this medicine and a cone on her head so she wouldn’t irritate the wound. It healed her wound beautifully can’t even tell she gashed herself. Took about 14 days but man this stuff is a miracle. I Will buy this product over and over again if I have too. Thank you so much who ever came up this product! Wish i would have taken a before and after to prove to you guys that this works!

Good

Worked great on my dogs sore paw

My cat has a sore on his throat and after cleaning all the fur around it, I put this on and after 2 days it is almost gone! So glad I purchased!

It works!! Give it a try
