Yes it will help heal a surgical wound. Santyl is a topical enzymatic debriding agent. What this means is that by applying the Santyl ointment daily you will be removing dead tissue from the wound bed. This process called 'Debriding' is necessary in order for the wound to heal. Santyl promotes granulation (i.e. new tissue growth) and subsequent epithelialization (i.e. closure) of the wound by removing dead tissue which is blocking the healing process.
