Study Summary
To evaluate the efficacy of honey as a post surgical exit site care process to promote healing and prevent infectious bacterial colonization of newly created exit sites. It has been shown in the medical literature that honey has properties that are conducive to healing and the prevention of infection. In one study it was demonstrated that in urethral injury in the rat treated with honey the injury healed with none of the usual formation of fibrous tissue seen in such healing processes, that there was no reduction in the luminal diameter usually seen, and that the cells lining the urethra were uncompromised in any way, i.e. totally normal and healthy. We feel that if an exit site can be healed quickly with good normal tissue being developed that the patient will have a much better chance to keep that exit healthy reducing time, cost, and disruption of lifestyle. Other positive aspects of honey are it has the low pH required for good healthy tissue healing, it works in the presence of wound fluids, and it has never been shown to produce a resistant bacterial strain.
