In the realm of wound care, innovations continue to evolve, offering new solutions to age-old challenges. One such advancement is the introduction of protease-modulating dressings. These specialized dressings play a pivotal role in promoting effective wound healing by addressing the activity of protease enzymes in the wound bed.
Understanding Protease Enzymes:
Protease enzymes are naturally occurring substances in the body that aid in breaking down proteins. While these enzymes are crucial for various physiological processes, excessive protease activity in chronic wounds can hinder the healing process. Elevated levels of proteases
