Surgihoney® is a bioengineered, medical grade honey providing superior efficacy in preventing biofilm formation compared to other honeys[1].
It has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including multi-drug resistant strains, such as MRSA, Ecoli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa[2].
