Types of wound debridement techniques offered
Several different types of wound debridement techniques are offered to ensure optimal healing. The experienced clinical team specializes in surgical debridement, a method frequently used for deep wounds or those carrying an infection risk.
This technique involves removing dead tissue with medical instruments.
Another technique employed is mechanical debridement, which helps remove dead tissue from the wound surface. Wet-to-dry dressings may be used in this process—these bandages help pull away infected material as they dry and get removed.
State-of-the-art facilities also offer ultrasonic wound management, which uses high-frequency sound waves to separate healthy cells from dead ones.
For chronic wounds like diabetic foot ulcers or venous leg ulcers, enzymatic debridement is often applied until closure of the wound is achieved. This process involves applying medically prepared enzymes directly on the affected area to dissolve necrotic tissues.
A careful evaluation by skilled professionals determines each patient’s unique needs then chooses an appropriate combination of these advanced techniques for maximal reduction of the wound area and promotion of healing.
