What is the function of collagenase ointment? How to use

Collagenase ointment is suitable for enzymatic debridement of burn wounds and promotion of wound healing. The main component of collagenase ointment is collagenase, which is an enzyme product prepared by fermentation, extraction and refinement of Clostridium histolytica. What is the function of that? How should it be used?

Collagenase ointment effects

Clinical trials have shown that collagenase ointment can effectively remove necrotic tissue from deep second-degree burn wounds and accelerate wound healing. Collagenase ointment (Collagenase) is extracted from Clostridium histolytica or pig pancreas. It can selectively act on denatured and undenatured collagen to degrade it. Collagenase can degrade collagen fibers at the edge of the wound and has a good debridement effect, thereby promoting granulation growth, epithelialization, and accelerating wound healing.

The correct way to use Collagenase ointment is: once a day or every other day. Collagenase ointment needs to be applied topically. Before using this medicine, patients should first disinfect the wound and surrounding skin with disinfectants such as hydrogen peroxide, alcohol cotton balls, etc., then clean the wound with physiological saline, and then apply collagenase ointment (Collagenase). Superficial wounds can be covered with sterile gauze. Collagenase ointment can be applied directly to the affected area, or it can be applied to gauze and applied to the affected area.

Patients need to pay attention when receiving treatment: Patients who are allergic to any of the pharmaceutical ingredients in Collagenase Ointment (Collagenase) should not use this drug for treatment. If serious adverse reactions occur, the patient should go to the hospital immediately and seek help from a professional doctor.
