*I never used it but it is still on the market. * *When I had my wound in **2004 but I used something similar - Santyl. Now when one of my old battle wounds break open I use Silvasorb. Also, I just found the following information for you as to whether to use Xenaderm or Sanytyl and found this:*
*Santyl (Collagenase) is an enzyme used to break down the yellow slough (pronounced "Sluff") by breaking down the collagen (the -ase ending means it is an enzyme) and allowing the healthy new capillaries to grow. * *In contrast, Xenaderm is used on already healthy tissues to promote growth of more healthy tissue. These two ointments have different uses and functions. You might start with the Santyl to remove the slough and then change to Xenaderm when the wound base is all healthy granulation tissue.* *If you are having problems... your home health agency nurse should be the best one to consult as to which product to use for your current skin breakdowns.* *Hope this helps!* *~Lori* On Wed, Jul 13, 2016 at 4:46 PM, glenn henry <[email protected]> wrote: > Does anyone ever use a cream called Xenaderm?
