| Sumario: | Wound debridement is a process that assists its transition from a chronic, non-healing wound to one progressing towards a healed state. There are many debridement techniques that can effectively stimulate the wound towards this transition. Debridement can be effectively performed in the operating room, with expensive specialised equipment, or state-of-the-art wound clinics. This paper will focus on simple, effective forms of debridement that can be performed in most clinic settings: sharp excisional debridement, autolytic debridement, enzymatic debridement and biodebridement. Providing good wound care in clinics where people live can effectively prevent the need for many life altering major amputations.
