Can collagenase santyl ointment help to heal surgical scars?

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.

Santyl (collagenase) and Bactroban (mupirocin) are both topical treatments used for different purposes, such as wound care and infection prevention. If a healthcare provider has prescribed both medications, it’s important to follow their specific instructions regarding application frequency. Generally, alternating these medications every other day may be appropriate, but this should be confirmed with a healthcare professional to ensure safety and effectiveness for the specific condition being treated. Always consult with a doctor or pharmacist before making changes to prescribed treatment regimens.
