I keep seeing patients who come with previous orders for Santyl on DRY ESCHAR.

Santyl is “collagenase” meaning it eats collagen fibers. Collagen fibers no longer exist in eschar.

This is a very expensive waste!

If you’re not sure what to do with a wound obscured by eschar- remember the 3 things you need to heal a wound- check the blood flow, keep infection free and check prealbumin!

Conservative treatment like betadine moistened gauze to keep the eschar dry and stable until you get answers to the three things above.

Remember- dry eschar good. Wet eschar BAD!

Stop with the santyl and hydrogel on eschar!! 🫣🫣🫣

Wound care isn’t glamorous… until you keep someone’s leg attached. 😎

People think I spend my day changing bandages.

Reality? I’m hunting down infections, arguing with bacteria, negotiating with edema, evicting dead tissue, begging people to wear their offloading boot, and celebrating when a wound shrinks 2 mm like we just won the Super Bowl.

Tiny victories. Huge impact.

Because in wound care, even millimeters matter. ❤️🩹
