Debridement
Removal of dead or infected tissue so the wound can heal in a clean environment.
Slow healing is often caused by a surface film that fosters microbial growth. Debridement removes damaged or necrotic tissue to prevent infection and restart healing.
It is a routine part of wound care and is performed with comfort measures appropriate to the wound.
