Collagenase Santyl® Ointment should be applied once daily (or more frequently if the dressing becomes soiled, as from incontinence). When clinically indicated, crosshatching thick eschar with a #10 blade allows Collagenase Santyl® Ointment more surface contact with necrotic debris. It is also desirable to remove, with forceps and scissors, as much loosened detritus as can be done readily. Use Collagenase Santyl® Ointment in the following manner:
1 - Prior to application the wound should be cleansed of debris and digested material by gently rubbing with a gauze pad saturated with normal saline solution, or with the desired cleansing agent compatible with Collagenase Santyl® Ointment (See PRECAUTIONS ), followed by a normal saline solution rinse.
2 - Whenever infection is present, it is desirable to use an appropriate topical antibiotic powder. The antibiotic should be applied to the wound prior to the application of Collagenase Santyl® Ointment. Should the infection not respond, therapy with Collagenase Santyl® Ointment should be discontinued until remission of the infection.
3 - Collagenase Santyl® Ointment may be applied directly to the wound or to a sterile gauze pad which is then applied to the wound and properly secured.
4 - Use of Collagenase Santyl® Ointment should be terminated when debridement of necrotic tissue is complete and granulation tissue is well established.
