Dead skin removal, Wound healing.

Medicinal Benefits:

Debriser Ointment belongs to the class of medications called 'Debridement agents' used to remove dead skin and promote wound healing. Debriser Ointment contains Papain and Urea, which help remove dead skin from wounds and speed up recovery. It also helps thin the pus in lesions (ulcers, cysts, bedsores, surgical wounds). These two medicines increase moisture in the skin and dissolve keratin (a protein on the skin's outer layer). This effect makes dead skin cells fall off and accelerate healing. It also has an emollient effect and helps to soften the skin.
