Nexobrid Use in the Elderly
In elderly burn patients, NXB facilitates precise eschar removal and reliably prevents compartment syndrome, demonstrating a strong safety profile even in high-risk individuals. Its primary benefit shifts from reducing surgical incidence to optimizing the wound bed for grafting. These findings support the use of NXB in the elderly, with the understanding that subsequent grafting is often still required due to age-related delayed healing.
