![]() ![]() Skin will automatically cover the granulation tissue (“proud flesh”) that fills the defect, completely.īurn treatment is surprisingly easy. As a rule, no skin graft will be required. Dressing changes continue until the wound if fully healed. Deeper wounds are packed full of Sugardyne to the brim. A copious amount (¼ to ½ inch thick layer) of Sugardyne is applied to cover or fill the wound and then covered with dry gauze. Use of Sugardyne after the wound is free of any bleeding is straightforward Sugardyne can be safely applied to the wound without fear of any bleeding once clots have been given adequate time to form–usually 1 ½ to 2 days. If calcium is not available, no clot can form. The reason? All sugars (including honey and syrup) chelate (bind with) calcium. The finished material is stable and remains easy to use.Īll bleeding must be completely controlled before Sugardyne can be used on a fresh wound. We use the ratio 3 parts sugar and combine it with 1 part oil, mixing the two components until uniformly smooth. Over time, we replaced the Egyptian’s honey with confectioner’s (powdered) sugar cooking oil now replaces the Egyptian grease. Its formula is based upon the ancient Egyptian battlefield surgeon’s use of honey and grease. Sugardyne has been used successfully to treat a wide variety of wounds, burns and ulcers over a 35 year period. And, to our surprise as surgeons, infections did not occur, ever. Sugardyne originally containing povidone-iodine was used to treat the entire spectrum of wounds burns and ulcers confronting man. Over a period of 35 years, 7,000 patients have been treated, among whom were 1,700 burn victims. At present, it consists of three parts powdered sugar and one part cooking oil. ![]() Sugardyne is a wound and burn dressing and healing compound. Welcome to the exciting world of Sugardyne! They not only help eliminate infections, but substantially contribute to cost savings, reduce the necessity for skin grafting and cut the overall cost of wound and burn care. They have outshined many of the much more expensive materials and products in not only fighting infection but in contributing to unparalleled healing as well. These two materials have proven to be powerful antibacterials and have been shown to be superior to all antibiotics in staving off infection. More recently, the composition has evolved to include only two substances: powdered sugar, substituted for the Egyptian’s honey, and cooking oil instead of their grease. That additional chemical, povidone-iodine, proved unnecessary and it was dropped from the formulation. In more recent times, povidone-iodine was included in the formulation and the commercial product was called “Sugardyne”–sugar for its most abundant component and dyne for power (as in dynamite, dynamo and dynamic). It was developed in its earliest form by the battlefield surgeons of ancient Egypt some 4,000 years ago as honey and grease. Sugardyne is a specially-formulated dressing composition suitable for use on a great variety and number of wounds, burns and ulcers. ![]()
