Dr. Phil Zeltzman discusses management of open wounds including lavage and topical therapies that can augment wound healing. Regarding the dressings discussed: 1) Sugar dressing application: a 1 cm layer of granulated sugar is applied to the wound and covered with a thick dressing (to absorb fluid drawn from the wound). The dressing should be changed once daily or more frequently if there is strike-through. The wound should be copiously lavaged with warm saline or tap water during bandage changes. 2) Honey dressing application: Manuka honey-soaked gauze is applied over the wound (as the base / contact layer of a dressing) and bandaged. The dressing / bandage should be changed daily or more frequently with strike-through. Earn CE credit / Access an evaluation: https://www.vetvine.com/article/306/ce-survey-surgery-ebu
