The primary therapeutic use for which stem bromelain is currently and formally indicated is as a burn wound eschar debridement agent in adults with deep partial- and full-thickness thermal burns. Stem bromelain is currently principally used as a topical agent for debridement of necrotic tissue from wounds or second to third-degree burns. As bromelain can contain escharase as one of its component enzymes, it is thought that various stem bromelain creams or gels can accelerate the healing process of wounds by facilitating the rapid removal of necrotic layers of dermis while preserving unburned/unharmed tissues and/or perhaps by accelerating the recovery of blood perfusion in wound tissue, control the expression of TNF-alpha, and raise the expression of TGT-beta, as demonstrated in the pig animal model. This kind of enzymatic debridement is ultimately preferred to surgical debridement as physical, surgical procedures are naturally painful, non-selective, and involve the possibility of repeat or excessive anesthesia and/or bleeding.
