The interactive table below shows which products (antibacterial/antifungal active ingredients, iodine/silver/other wound dressings) inhibit the enzymatic activity of collagenase. Inhibition % refers to how much of the collagenase enzymatic activity is inhibited in the presence of the product analyzed. We suggest clinicians avoid using collagenase with products with high inhibition % in the same dressing.
Instructions: 1. Select number of entries (rows) to be displayed on the table. 2. Click on the header of each column to sort (e.g., click on "Product Name" to sort by product names in alphabetical order), or use the "search" field to find a specific product.
