Our Heritage, Our Source
Denis Watson
ManukaMed Researcher and Founder
ManukaMed, founded by research scientist Denis Watson, was developed with the vision to heal patients around the world who suffer from chronic wounds. Our parent company is based in New Zealand, and in collaboration with dozens of landowners across the island, is responsible for the exclusive monofloral sourcing and production of ManukaMed’s medical grade honey or Leptospermum scoparium (LS). With the help of more than 30,000 bee hives owned by the parent company Watson & son, ManukaMed scientists are able to use the uniquely potent Manuka honey, originating from the nectar of the indigenous Manuka tree flower.
Our Labs
ManukaMed utilizes a rigorous proprietary quality control process called Quality Bioactive Testing (QBT). This process strictly controls all production aspects of ManukaMed honey ensuring the most pure, stable and consistently potent product is delivered to the patient. ManukaMed’s medical grade honey offers unparalleled chemical synergies scientifically proven to have superior, consistent wound healing properties. Impregnated into the super absorbent gelling fiber of our wound dressings, our potent Manuka honey demonstrates faster, better results, setting ManukaMed apart from traditional products and leading to thousands of clinical success stories around the world. ManukaMed researchers and scientist work closely with board certified physicians and wound healing specialists to help advance and standardize clinical protocols for the use of our wound care products.
