Description
Debridement is a critical step of wound bed preparation to expedite healing and assist in the avoidance of negative outcomes associated with bioburden and biofilm. Clinicians have many options to accomplish debridement including sharp, conservative sharp, mechanical, enzymatic, biologic, chemical, and autolytic debridement. Removing necrotic tissue can not only impact the wound environment, but also quality life. This session reviews the various forms of debridement as well as contraindication and precautions. Clinicians will be aware of key safety measures if performing conservative sharp wound debridement. The course concludes with a case compendium of debridement showcasing the multitudinous debridement options available.
