Enzymatic Debridement

Enzymatic debridement uses topical enzymes to break down necrotic tissue, which accelerates the healing process by removing dead tissue and promoting tissue regeneration. This non-invasive method is ideal for wounds with stubborn necrotic tissue, such as pressure ulcers or diabetic foot ulcers. The enzymes selectively target and break down dead tissue, leaving healthy tissue intact. Although it’s a slower process compared to sharp debridement, enzymatic debridement offers a more comfortable option for wound care. Patients should confirm they are not allergic to the enzymes used before opting for this treatment.
