Abstract: A composition comprising collagen and honey can be produced by addition of an aqueous solution of honey to an aqueous suspension of collagen. The composition is for use in medicine and particularly for use in the treatment of a wound. A method for treatment of a wound comprises administering the composition topically to the skin of a patient.

Abstract: A flange extender for an ostomy bag comprises honey. In a preferred embodiment, the flange extender comprises a composition of hydrocolloid and medical grade Manuka honey and at least one release liner. Incorporation of honey into a flange extender provides additional adhesion to the skin of an ostomate and to a flange of an ostomy bag, increased wear time may possible and there may be reduced peristomal skin irritation. These advantages provide increased comfort for a user as well as reduced risk of infection through the antibacterial properties of honey.

Abstract: An ultra-thin highly conformable arc-shaped support film for a flange extender for an ostomy bag comprises a polyurethane film having an adhesive applied to at least one of a body facing surface and an ostomy bag facing surface, wherein the film has a thickness of about 5 pm to about 100 ?m and exhibits a high moisture vapor transmission rate even compared to thin films used for film dressings.
