Wound preparation and the role of mechanical debridement.

Chronic wounds are complex by nature and require thorough assessment and carefully planned management. Part of that management often includes preparing the wound and periwound skin for healing, for which debridement is frequently required. While there are several methods of debridement available, of...

      ab: Chronic wounds are complex by nature and require thorough assessment and carefully planned management. Part of that management often includes preparing the wound and periwound skin for healing, for which debridement is frequently required. While there are several methods of debridement available, often requiring specialist referral, there are some that can be used by generalist nurses and patients and carers themselves. This article describes one of those methods, mechanical debridement, examining the benefits of use and where it would not be appropriate. It concludes by focusing on a new debridement tool designed in collaboration with healthcare professionals and looks at four patient case studies where it was used in clinical practice.
