A multidisciplinary approach to wound debridement across anatomical sites: collaborative guidance from tissue viability and podiatry.

Wound debridement is a fundamental component of effective wound management, supporting healing by removing devitalised tissue and reducing the risk of infection. However, debridement approaches must be tailored to the anatomical site, especially in areas considered high-risk, such as the feet and lo...

      ab: Wound debridement is a fundamental component of effective wound management, supporting healing by removing devitalised tissue and reducing the risk of infection. However, debridement approaches must be tailored to the anatomical site, especially in areas considered high-risk, such as the feet and lower limbs, or in patients with peripheral arterial disease, chronic limb-threatening ischaemia, renal disease and suspected or confirmed malignancy. This article presents a collaboratively developed debridement guide, created through partnership between the Tissue Viability and Podiatry teams at South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust (SWFT). The guide provides structured, evidence-informed direction to support clinicians in selecting safe and appropriate debridement methods for hard-to-heal wounds, incorporating patient risk factors, wound characteristics and anatomical complexity.
