IRVINE, Calif., Jul 10, 2012 (
BUSINESS WIRE) -- Links
Medical Products Inc. (LMP), a leader in the manufacture and marketing of
innovative, caring products, announced they have received both FDA and European
Union (EU) marketing clearance for its new MANUKA Fill(TM) medical-grade Manuka
honey wound dressing, and for MANUKA IG(TM) non-tacky, contact layer dressing.
"Being able to market our new medical-grade Manuka
honey wound care products in the large and rapidly growing U.S. & European
markets, and potentially in the other countries that recognize the FDA and the
EU's CE certifications, is a significant milestone for our company," said
Tom Buckley, CEO of Links Medical Products, Inc. "Based on research and
our discussions with wound care specialists, we know these products will make
an important contribution to both wound and burn care."
Only 100% Manuka honey (Leptospermum scoparium) from New
Zealand is used to make LMP's wound care dressings. The pure Manuka honey is
processed to medical-grade quality and terminally sterilized to eliminate
bacteria, microorganisms and spores. The company's careful processing and
sterilization methods preserve the unique biological activity of the Manuka
honey.
MANUKA Fill sterile wound dressing consists of 100% pure medical-grade
Manuka honey supplied in easy-to-use half ounce (0.5 oz.) and one and a half
ounce (1.5 oz.) tubes for direct application to wounds and burns. MANUKA Fill
can be applied either directly to the wound bed or to a primary dressing.
MANUKA IG is a new non-adherent contact layer dressing
utilizing 100% pure medical-grade Manuka honey and is designed to meet the
growing demand for an alternative approach to dressings for advanced wound and
burn care management…
