MediWound Ltd.

The first step in treating serious burns is to remove the burned layer of skin, or eschar. MediWound is developing a minimally invasive enzymatic alternative to the current gold standard: surgical excision. Its Debrase Gel Dressing, derived from pineapple plants, is highly selective for necrotic tissue. When topically applied to the burn site, it quickly digests and removes the eschar, leaving a clean wound bed.
