SUPRATHEL® after Enzymatic Debridement

Enzymatic debridement has recently gained increasing attention. It has become a reliable tool for selective removal of eschar. Therefore, after this tissue-sparing procedure, the wound covering should be chosen with the utmost care.

Preserved tissue after enzymatic debridement requires best protection of the wound to provide optimal support for healing.
