A clinical study of Trypure or Varidase on minor burns.
A prospective double blind study using Varidase or Trypure on 2nd degree local burns in 18 patients was performed. No difference in cleaning or healing effect was revealed. In 6 out of 11 Trypure-treated and 1 out of 12 Varidase-treated patients treatment had to be discontinued because of intolerable pain. This difference was statistically significant.
