Irvine, California June 29, 2010 — Links Medical Products Inc. (LMP), a leader in the manufacturing and marketing of innovative healthcare products (http://www. linksmed. com) for use in both acute and long-term care, announces the launch of new MANUKAderm® Skin Protectant (http://www. linksmed. com/index. php/otcmanukaderm).

MANUKAderm is enriched with 30% pure, all-natural medical-grade Manuka honey. Research demonstrates that Manuka honey offers important properties to help accelerate the healing process.

The result: MANUKAderm safely and effectively protects and soothes dry, cracked, and chapped skin, including eczema and psoriasis. And enhances skin elasticity. MANUKAderm is also non-sticky and very easy to apply.

What’s more, the exclusive formula of MANUKAderm is enriched with Kukui Nut Oil, Shea Butter, Allantoin, and Vitamins B5 and E.

MANUKAderm is part of the new line of ManukaMed® brand of medical-grade Manuka honey products to maintain general health and well-being and to treat and manage burns and wounds. Other products include MANUKAhoney® Medical-grade Manuka Honey for numerous health conditions, MANUKAlozenges® Sore Throat Relief, MANUKAbalm® Lip Therapy, and MANUKApli® Sterile Wound Dressing.

“MANUKAderm is unlike all other barrier creams available,” says Tom Buckley, Links Medical Products’ CEO. “The innovative formulation of medical-grade Manuka honey plus all the other rich moisturizing ingredients make MANUKAderm the ideal cream for a variety of dry skin conditions.”

The ManukaMed brand of Manuka honey is unique in the U. S. because it is harvested from hives dedicated to bees that pollinate only the Manuka bush (a species known as Leptospermum scoparium), native to New Zealand.

LMP and its New Zealand partner maintain complete traceability and control over the production of its medical-grade Manuka honey—from beehive to final product. This level of control is unique among Manuka honey companies who often buy honey on the open market or contract with multiple suppliers who may not have similar rigorous product quality controls. The ManukaMed brand contains 100% pure Manuka honey, unlike other products on the market.

LMP and its New Zealand partner assure a reliable supply of medical-grade Manuka honey for its ManukaMed line of products through special access to the Manuka forest; a long-term, relationship-building policy with landowners; and the development of new Manuka groves.

In addition, every step in the LMP production chain is carefully considered to ensure the ManukaMed brand of medical-grade Manuka honey products meets the highest standards. In association with renowned medical professionals and researchers, Links Medical Products employs stringent test methods maintaining the bioactivity of medical-grade Manuka honey used in the ManukaMed brand of products.
