Description
Eliza-Maria Bordeanu-Diaconescu and co-authors review in 2024 bromelain-based enzyme treatment for cleaning burn wounds. Removing dead tissue is essential for healing, but surgery can bleed, cut away living skin, and struggle in awkward areas. A pineapple-derived enzyme gel offers a gentler scalpel.
The review weighs indications, benefits, and cautions for enzyme debridement against surgery. The gel digests dead tissue selectively, shortens cleaning time, and can spare later operations. Reports extend its use to larger burn areas with good safety. The authors see enzyme cleaning earning a firm place in modern burn protocols, while calling for continued evaluation. For patients, less cutting can mean less pain and cleaner scars.
