Enzymatic debridement: No perfect solution yet

A recently published study on procedures for determining the effectiveness of various enzymatic wound debriding agents illustrates the continuing need for a reliable, cost-effective enzymatic debrider for use in wound care.

 

Researchers concluded that the automated in vitro procedure used in the study can produce useful information for evaluating the effects topical antimicrobials, wound cleansers, wound dressings, and drug infiltrates have on the effectiveness of debriding agents. The study used porcine skin and muscle tissue as substrates in an automated Franz-type in vitro diffusion cell system … read more
