Wound Debridement

Wound debridement is a process of cleaning a wound by removing dead, damaged, or infected tissue and other debris to promote healing. It's a crucial step in wound care, particularly for chronic wounds like diabetic foot ulcers, and can be performed using various methods. 

What is debridement?

Debridement involves removing dead, damaged, or infected tissue from a wound to help healthy tissue heal more effectively. By clearing away this non-viable material, the wound environment becomes more suitable for new cell growth, reduces the risk of infection, and improves the effectiveness of other wound care treatments. This process is especially vital in chronic or non-healing wounds, where the presence of necrotic tissue can significantly delay recovery.
