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.

Can hand sanitizer be used to sterilize a burn?

While most hand sanitizers do contain ethyl alcohol, which is a sterilizing agent, hand sanitizer typically contains other ingredients, including fragrances or dyes. Because of these additional ingredients, it is really best to not use hand sanitizer to sterilize a burn, especially if it covers a large area, or is more serious than a minor burn. The best action is to run the burn under cool water, then cover with a sterile gauge bandage. If the burn is raw, then disinfecting with a sterile antiseptic, followed by the application of antibacterial ointment and a sterile gauze bandage, is the best route to recovery. If the burn is more serious, seek medical assistance immediately!
