DEBx Medical Receives COFEPRIS Market Approval in Mexico for DEBRICHEM®

AMSTERDAM and MEXICO CITY, Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 2.5 million chronic wounds each year consume nearly 8% of Mexico’s healthcare budget.

Addressing this challenge, DEBx Medical announces that DEBRICHEM^® has received market approval from the Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risk (COFEPRIS). In partnership with Biotechlives SAPI, the company is now launching this advanced treatment in Mexico, a tool uniquely designed to reopen the path to healing in chronic wounds.

A New Standard in Wound Bed Preparation

DEBRICHEM^® is a CE-marked Class IIb medical device designed for chemical debridement of chronic wounds. In just 60 seconds, it clears biofilm, infection, and devitalized tissue, rapidly creating a wound bed ready to heal. As an Advanced Wound Bed Preparation tool, it empowers subsequent therapies like NPWT, grafts, and advanced dressings to work more effectively.

• Accelerates granulation across multiple wound types
• Reduces the need for repeated debridements
• Supports antimicrobial stewardship by reducing unnecessary antibiotic use
  
  

Health-economic modeling predicts:
