Interesting, pineapples contain an enzyme by-product named bromelin. It is a protein-digesting enzyme similar to papain (found in papaya, Carica papaya). I bet this accounts for its debridement qualities. So, logically, maybe papaya, or papain, might be of similar use.
Here's hoping!

Bromelian is a fanastic ani-inflammatory. Unfortunately you can’t get enough of it eating canned pineapple or juice because of the processing.
In some cases it will aid healing of parts of the body without good blood flow such as tendons when nothing else helps. It will not destroy organs like some ani-inflammatories when taken in excess.
