An updated overview and clarification of the principle role of debridement

R Strohal et al. J Wound Care. 2013 Jan.

Abstract

Routine care of non-healing acute and chronic wounds often comprises either cleaning or debridement. Consequently, debridement is a basic necessity to induce the functional process of tissue repair, which makes it a central medical intervention in the management of acute and chronic, non-healing wounds.
