Question Title

* 1. Please fill in your personal information:

First Name

Last Name

Email Address

Occupation

Veterinary Practice/Clinic

Province

Question Title

* 2. Is it true that Activon Medical Grade Manuka Honey tube or dressings can be used to break up established biofilms?

True

False

Question Title

* 3. Manuka honey can be used on malodorous wounds, and prevents malodour. How does Manuka honey do this?

Honey stops the production of ammonia and other odorous products of bacterial decomposition in necrotic wounds

Honey debrides devitalised tissue, reducing bioburden and any accompanying smell

All of the above

Question Title

* 4. Which bandages are appropriate for wounds with heavy amounts of exudate?

Advazorb

Eclypse

Question Title

* 5. Can Advazorb be used under compression?

Yes, it can because it has fluid-handling properties and a low friction film backing

No, Advazorb cannot be used under compression

Yes, it can because it is hypoallergenic

Question Title

* 6. Advazorb can reduce the burden of frequent dressing changes because it’s been tested and proven to have no strikethrough even when left in place for up to 7 days.

True

False

Question Title

* 7. The Eclypse is a superabsorbent dressing because the dressing has an excellent fluid-handling capacity, and the waterproof and low-friction film backing prevents any strikethrough from occurring. It can even be used under compression.

True

False

Question Title

* 8. How many times faster does a wound heal in a moist environment compared to a wound left out to dry?

It has the same healing rate but with more positive outcome for the wound

It has twice the healing rate

Question Title

* 9. How would you summarize what wound management should include?

Managing necrotic tissue

Managing necrotic tissue and managing wound exudate

Decreasing the bacterial load

Managing necrotic tissue; managing wound exudate and decreasing the bacterial load

Question Title

* 10. Some common signs and symptoms of local infection for an acute wound could include;

Redness

Pain

Swelling

Discharge

All the above

Question Title

* 11. Advazorb is a non-adhesive foam dressing that:

Can be left on for up to 7 days

Can be used under compression

Can be used with mild to moderately exudative wounds

Helps to maintain an optimal moist wound environment

All the above

Question Title

* 12. Advazorb dressings can be cut, but Eclypse dressings cannot.

True

False

Question Title

* 13. Advazorb and Advazorb Silfix can be used on the same types of wounds, and can both be cut.

True

False

Question Title

* 14. Wound contact layers like Silflex assist in the formation of tissue granulation and epithelization.

True

False

Question Title

* 15. How long can Silflex be left in place?

Up to 5 days

Up to 7 days

Up to 10 days

Up to 14 days

Question Title

* 16. What are the negative impacts of excessive exudate?

Maceration

Delayed healing

Excoriation

Malodour

Increase in wound size

Local infection of the wound

All the above

Question Title

* 17. What can superabsorbent dressings absorb?

Moderate to large amounts of exudate

Bacteria

Proteases

Inflammatory mediators

All of the above

Question Title

* 18. It is well known that microbes feed on sugar and that Manuka honey contains sugar. Knowing this, how can Manuka honey be antibacterial?

The sugar binds the water molecules making it impossible for microbes to use them.

Glucose oxidase, an enzyme which is added to the honey as it matures converts some of the glucose to gluconic acid making it a hostile environment that is too acidic for microbes to thrive.

Hydrogen peroxide is produced during the conversion of the glucose to gluconic acid which will act as a broad-spectrum antiseptic.

All of the above

Question Title

* 19. What differentiates medical grade Manuka honey from other honeys on the market?

Medical grade Manuka honey is sterilized and processed into a paste

Medical grade Manuka honey is purified before it is being packaged

Medical grade Manuka honey is filtered and sterilized to remove contamination and bacteria

There is no difference, all honey has the same properties

Question Title

* 20. Does Manuka honey have a low or a high pH level?

Low pH (3.5 - 5.5)

High pH (greater than 5.5)

Question Title

* 21. What is best to use to treat infected postoperative wounds?

Antiseptics and gauze

Antibiotics

Dressings coated with Manuka honey
