NexoBrid is a medicine used for removing eschar (dead tissue which is dried out, thick, leathery and black) due to skin burns caused by heat or fire. It can be used both for deep partial\-thickness burns (sometimes called ‘second degree’ burns) which extend into a deep region of an inner layer of the skin called the dermis, and full\-thickness burns (sometimes called ‘third degree’ burns) which extend even deeper, through the whole dermis. The active substance in NexoBrid is a concentrate of proteolytic enzymes enriched in bromelain.
Therapeutic Indication
NexoBrid is indicated in all age groups for removal of eschar in patients with deep partial\- and full\-thickness thermal burns.
