Enzymatic Debriding Agents
- Enzymatic debriding agents act on any one or all of these materials: collagen, protein,
fibrin, elastin and / or nucleoproteins. Check with each product as to its method of
action.
- Some enzymatic debriders are selective for necrotic tissue while
some are not.
- By loosening the necrotic debris, surgical debridement may be avoided.
- Tunneling ulcers are particularly suitable for these products as they remove debris
which may be difficult to visualize and / or reach.
- All require a prescription
