The results after using this product in no way compare to the use of Accuzyme. Basically, we are not seeing any positive results at all which is very unfortunate for our customers.
I have been in wound care practice for 15 years and used Accuzyme, Ethezyme, Gladase, Santyl, Santyl with Polysporin, Kovia, Mesalt, Other Hypersaline products, Hydrocolloids, Hydrocolloids with alginates, Urea, Elase and probably attempted a few other products to debride wounds as many other clinicians have. My best wound healing outcomes were with the combination papain-urea products. Yes, sometimes patients would complain of burning or tingling and I would encounter some patients with minor skin irritation from papain-urea products, but, never anaphylactic response. Now that we no longer have papain-urea products, debridement of patients unable to undergo surgical debridement or who just need conservative debridement has become an issue. We use Santyl now just as we did 15 years ago, still with the same slow results. Sorry,.I think we shoot ourselves in the foot sometimes trying to keep everyone "safe". Did anyone ever think to ask,..how safe is a non-healing necrotic wound?
It is unfortunate that you are not seeing any positive results. I have been using Santyl for over 10 years with great success. I found my patients did not tolerate Accuzyme well and my results were often times significantly better with Santyl.
