[Prolonged local enzyme therapy of suppurative wounds]

The article analyses the results of treatment of 150 patients with purulent diseases of the soft tissues of various localization, in which after surgical treatment the purulent focus immobilized trypsin (50 patients), trypsin with lysozyme immobilized on gauze (50 patients), and antiseptics (50 patients) were used for topical treatment of the formed wounds. The results of the treatment showed that topical prolonged enzyme therapy of purulent wounds with the use of trypsin immobilized on gauze and that with lysozyme promotes cleansing of the wounds, reduces microbial dissemination, intensifies reparative processes, and reduces the terms of treatment.
