Iodoflex Reviews
"I am receiving wound care and when the Medihoney was too painful from the burning and the silver didn't seem to have any positive effect, my doctor switched me to using the Iodoflex. It is a small, 1mm thick compressed pad of iodine held within two pieces of mesh. While wearing gloves, you remove the mesh and press the Iodoflex directly into the wound bed, making sure it covers the entire area of the wound. Then cover the wound with a cotton pad or non-stick gauze pad, and adhere that in place using an island dressing. Over the next few days, the Iodoflex will soak up any exudate and turn into a soft gel consistency, while it slowly releases the iodine into the wound bed, killing any bacteria. Dressing changes were more comfortable than a treatment that needs to be wiped out, as this is removed by spraying it with water and it simply falls away from the wound. It also stopped the unpleasant smell of the wound that I had experienced after 1 day of use with the Medihoney."
