Debridement
Debridement is the removal of dead (necrotic) or infected skin tissue to help a wound heal. It’s also done to remove foreign material from tissue.The procedure is essential for wounds that aren’t getting better. Usually, these wounds are trapped in the first stage of healing. When bad tissue is removed, the wound can restart the healing process.
Wound debridement can:-
- Help healthy tissue grow
- Minimize scarring
- Reduce complications of infections
There are various types of debridement like biological debridement, Enzymatic debridement, Autolytic debridement, Mechanical debridement, and sharp and surgical debridement..
