Mechanical Debridement

Mechanical debridement involves the physical removal of dead tissue using pressure, scrubbing, or irrigation. It is effective for heavily exuding wounds or those with necrotic tissue that is difficult to remove manually. This method ensures that the wound is cleaned and prepared for healing, promoting a more conducive environment for tissue regeneration. Mechanical debridement is often used when other methods are not effective, and it helps speed up the wound healing process. Patients should be aware that this treatment may be uncomfortable, but it is crucial for proper wound care.
