- Abstract
Objective: to evaluate the action of papain associated with 10% urea cream on tissue repair in patients with pressure injuries. Method: Case series study of nine selected patients. Results: of all participants, the presence of nine lesions was identified, whose characteristics varied between stages 2, 3 and 4. The use of papain improved exudate, reduced the size of the lesions, improved the tissue in the bed, evolving to granulation, reducing necrosis. Conclusion: Papain is a promising treatment as a dressing for pressure sores. Contributions to practice: the use of papain associated with urea cream is advantageous due to its effectiveness.
