Medihoney is a branded range of wound-care products built on medical-grade Manuka honey. It is widely stocked in NHS settings and has helped legitimise honey as a wound-care modality. For buyers searching 'Medihoney wound care' the question often becomes: what is the underlying material, and can we source it directly?
What Medihoney is
A finished product range owned by Integra LifeSciences (formerly Derma Sciences) covering gels, paste, and impregnated dressings. The honey is medical-grade, gamma-irradiated Leptospermum (Manuka) sourced from licensed New Zealand and Australian producers.
What you can source directly
Bulk medical-grade Manuka — the same category of raw material — is available from a small number of specialist traders. Spec typically: MGO 350+ to MGO 800+, gamma-irradiated, sterility tested, full CoA per batch. This is the input for private-label wound gels, lozenges, throat sprays, and dermatology actives.
When direct sourcing makes sense
If you are formulating your own wound-care product, contract-manufacturing for a brand, running clinical R&D, or building a private-label medical honey range, sourcing the bulk material directly gives you control of spec, margin and provenance. Buying finished Medihoney makes sense for clinical end-use, not for product development.
What we offer
Bulk medical-grade Manuka under supply agreement, with full documentation pack, partner-lab MGO certification, and producer identity held confidentially. Sample evaluation programmes available for formulation teams.
