Frequency of change

Depending on clinical observation, dressing may be left in place for up to 7 days. Actilite will be less effective as the honey is diluted by wound exudates, to maintain an effective level change the dressing when the colour changes significantly.

Due to the nature of honey, it can solidify at cold temperatures and become more malleable at warmer temperatures. If the product has hardened, warm between hands to soften before use. If the product has become too soft, place in a colder place such as a fridge for a few minutes
