My wife Sue has a pressure sore - her first. It has now been present for 10 days. The Nursing Home where she is a resident have referred her to the local tissue viability service. No indication about when they might respond. In the meantime she is being kept off her bottom as much as possible and the sore is protected with a dressing (not adhesive).
Various people have suggested Manuka Honey which I have known about and used previously. The problem is that I can't just buy it and apply it. Well, I could, obviously, but I'm pretty sure this could cause a big problem with the NH. I will ask them about it.
Has anyone else used MH for this purpose in a care home?
Thanks for reading.
