STONY BROOK, N.Y. (PIX11) – Stony Brook University is getting attention for an innovative new treatment for burns.

The medical facility is the first in the U.S. to test the ointment called NexoBrid, which is derived from the stems of pineapples.

Doctors said it promotes healing by removing burned tissue and allowing new skin regrowth.
