Debridement of wounds
Debridement of wounds
Debridement is the removal of lacerated, devitalized, or contaminated tissue. Debridement can be accomplished in the clinic with a procedure to remove devitalized tissue, muscle or bone, or through alternate methods such as use of special dressings and gels. Debridement is an essential step in the protocol for treating diabetic foot ulcers and other types of wounds.
how it works
This procedure involves thoroughly cleaning the wound and removing all hyperkeratotic (thickened skin or callus), infected, and nonviable (necrotic or dead) tissue, foreign debris, and residual material from dressings. The technique alters the environment of the chronic wound which promotes healing.
