Absorbine Silver Honey Rapid Wound Repair Ointment 2oz Tube, 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.

This paste is truly amazing! My cat recently had a kitten, and I was hesitant to bathe her because her fur was matting. When I tried to brush her, it was too late to shave the mats out. I grabbed my scissors, but she moved, and I accidentally cut her badly. I was terrified and crying. I used a powerful antiseptic to stop the bleeding and gave her a natural antibiotic I found on Amazon. However, the wound remained open, and I felt awful every time I saw her.Then I found this miracle paste on Amazon. I applied it twice a day, and each day the wound closed more and more. Now, it’s almost healed, but I’m still using the paste to be safe.I highly recommend this product 💯

I got this for a large, open wounds on my dog's leg where the exterior layers of fur ans skin were removed. This stuff has been working great to heal the wound and two weeks in there is great skin regrowth around the edges of the wound. Keep in mind this is not a wound cleaner or disinfectant. This is for afterward to help heal while the wound is loosely bound. The consistency is puddy like and what is not absorbed will smear and get messy in the fur which you will then have to clean before redressing a wound. A little bit goes a long way. Very happy with this product and would absolutely use again.

I’m really sick of shopping for different items only to find out they don’t work. I have to take aspirin every day for a while and when I get home my awesome dog loves to greet me and I’ve been getting cut by his claws and he doesn’t really have sharp claws it’s the aspirin. Anyways, I didn’t buy this to stop the bleeding but to help with the healing process and guess what! So glad I did… it’s not like anything I ever used before and I’m a pretty cautious person… I don’t ever give 5 stars and I hate people who exaggerate it makes me mad. I do recommend this product :)

Good

I’ve had what’s called carbunkels and nothing, including antibiotics has not done a thing to clear them. We just don’t know what the problem is with these so I decided to try this. And thought I was wasting my money on something else that didn’t work. But I am impressed. I’m on day five and the healing has really been amazing but I still have a ways to go to get it cleared. Thank you all for reviewing this product so that I could make a right decision as to buy it or not your reviews really convinced me and now I’m convinced thank you.

I was really surprised to see the healing of the venostasis wound on my patient that did not work with any other treatments I’ve been trying for the last three years. I did not even realize that the beginning that it was created for animals. I have ordered more and recommended to try.

I bought this for emergency wound care for my ducks. Never used it on the ducks but I messed up and used it on myself for a cut. THE CUT SEALED UP IN ONE NIGHT!!!! I don't know why this isn't standard care in every hospital in the world. This stuff is AMAZING!
