BIOFAC Plasmin is a GMP certified API which provides with a new approach to wound treatment.

BIOFAC Plasmin in Bionuclease for wound treatmentBionuclease composition:For the effective wound management Plasmin can be combined with Deoxyribonuclease (DNase). The mixture of these two enzymes is called Bionuclease.Mechanism of action on wounds:The two enzymes in Bionuclease work simultaneously to enhance wound cleaning and accelerate the healing process. Plasmin acts as a wound debridement agent; it attacks and dissolves clots of fibrin. In other words, plasmin clears up a wound removing dead skin and tissue. Deoxyribonuclease, on the other hand, attacks DNA found in purulent exudates.Application in ointments:Ointments with Bionuclease are indicated for promoting healing of wounds, in particular chronic wounds and wounds with pre-existing physiological condition, e.g. diabetic foot ulcers, general surgical wounds, ulcerative lesions-trophic, abscesses, decubitus, stasis, fistulas, circumcision and episiotomy. The ointments are administrated intravaginally in conditions as cervicitis-benign, postpartum and postconization vaginitis.BIOFAC Plasmin for induction of PVDPlasmin products have shown to be effective for the induction of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), a technique which is considered beneficial in patients with numerous retinal conditions, including diabetic retinopathy which is damage to the small blood vessels in the retina that can result in loss of vision.
