Clinical experience and existing research strongly support debridement as a necessary component of wound bed preparation when slough or eschar is present. Multiple techniques are available, but the indications for each technique and their efficacy are not clearly established.

Enzymatic debridement: past, present, and future
Acta Chirurgica Belgica, 2022Early surgical debridement of the deep second and third-degree burns is still the standard of care (SOC) to prepare the wound bed for skin grafting. However, this technique has some drawbacks that explain the growing interest in enzymatic debridement as an alternative.

Enzymatic debridement for necrotic wounds
Journal of Wound Care, 1996In a randomised, double-blind, controlled trial, a comparison was made of the relative efficacy of using streptokinase/streptodornase (Varidase) in a hydrogel (KY Jelly) or the hydrogel alone in the debridement of Grade IV pressure sores. Seventeen subjects aged 57-94 years (mean age 81) took part; 21 sores were studied, 11 of which were randomised to

Enzymatic debridement of burns: a review
Burns, 1983The search for an effective method of enzymatic debridement of burns has been characterized by numerous compounds which, although initially promising, failed to produce acceptable clinical results. Nevertheless, the theoretical potential of such a method is considerable and could significantly change both the management and the prognosis of patients ...

Evaluation of burned hand function after enzymatic debridement
Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2022Hand burns are common injuries that can result in long-term impairment of hand function. Enzymatic debridement (ED) prevents damage to the viable dermis due to the procedure's selectivity and has become an option for obtaining an accurate depth assessment and enabling wound re-epithelialization with less skin graft use. We conducted a prospective study

Enzymatic frostbite eschar debridement by bromelain
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1987Bromelain is a plant proteinase derived from the stem of the pineapple plant that has been used successfully to debride the eschar from third-degree burn injuries. Its applicability to frostbite eschar removal was extrapolated and investigated. Third-degree frostbite lesions were produced on swine using supercooled air as the freezing media, and the ...

Enzymatic débridement with bovine fibrinolysin
The American Journal of Surgery, 1959Abstract Bovine fibrinolysin, alone or in combination with desoxyribonuclease, appears to be of value in the enzymatic debridement of ulcerating wounds. This agent achieved more rapid and frequently more effective superficial debridement of a significant proportion of ulcerating surfaces which had failed to respond satisfactorily to other forms of ...

Intrapleural Enzymatic Debridement With Tryptar
Diseases of the Chest, 1955SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS The cases presented illustrate some of the situations in which the pancreatic enzyme trypsin can be used for the purpose of selective intrapleural proteolytic debridement. These included tuberculous empyema, tuberculous infection of the extrapleural space, mixed tuberculous empyema, non-tuberculous empyema following resection ...

Efficacy of enzymatic debridement of deeply burned hands
Burns, 2012The burned hand is a common and difficult to care-for entity in the field of burns. Due to the anatomy of the hand (important and delicate structures crowded in a small limited space without sub-dermal soft tissue), surgical debridement of the burned tissue is technically difficult and may cause considerable complications and, therefore, should be ...
