SANTYL Ointment is an FDA-approved prescription medicine that removes dead tissue from wounds so they can start to heal. Proper wound care management is important to help remove non-living tissue from your wound. Healthcare professionals have prescribed SANTYL Ointment for more than 50 years to help clean many types of wounds. Collagenase SANTYL Ointment is used to remove damaged tissue from chronic skin ulcers and severely burned areas. Do not use if you have shown hypersensitivity to collagenase. Occasional slight redness may occur if SANTYL Ointment is placed outside the wound area. Precautions should be taken to avoid detergents or cleansing solutions that are acidic or basic in nature, as raising or lowering of the Ointment’s pH can lower the effectiveness. Caregivers to debilitated patients should closely monitor the application site to ensure that the area is not becoming infected. The risk information provided herein is not comprehensive.
