Collagenase Type I is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down the peptide bonds in collagen, the main structural protein of connective tissue. Collagenase has been explored as a potential treatment option to break down herniated disc material, thereby reducing pressure on nearby nerves. Collagenase may aid in the breakdown and reorganization of excessive scar tissue, potentially improving tissue function and appearance. Collagenase has the potential to treat disc herniation, keloid, cellulite, lipoma, as well as Peroni's disease and palm fibromatosis.
