Principal reported finding
What the publication reports
In a six-enzyme laboratory assay, the undiluted individual components and their 1:1 mixture reduced or eliminated detectable protease activity. The authors call for additional testing in wound fluid or wound-fluid surrogates.
Study context
Evidence should be read with its design.

Interpretation
This controlled laboratory study helps characterize protease activity in the presence of the foam. As in vitro research, it does not establish clinical efficacy in people.
