Research in the chemical and techno-pharmacological sector has allowed the use of medical devices based on biological products in the various phases of the tissue repair process of acute and chronic wounds. Neem and St. John’s Wort oil, Aloe vera, essential fatty acids are applied to the wound only after non-vital tissue has been removed and in the absence of biofilm and/or infection. Honey, on the other hand, is used in the debridement phase thanks to its biological-natural properties and the ability to draw water from the tissues surrounding the lesion, thus allowing the detachment of the non-vital tissue from the wound bed (autolytic debridement). In the presence of biofilm or wound infection, the only indicated debridement is surgical. The study evaluated the possibility of using the autolytic properties of honey on lesions even in the presence of biofilm or local infection, demonstrating how such use is possible especially in patients in whom surgical debridement is contraindicated.
