Reasons for Procedure
Debridement is used to clean dead and contaminated material from your wound to aid in healing. The procedure is most often done for the following reasons:
- To remove tissue contaminated by bacteria, foreign tissue, dead cells, or crusting
- To create a neat wound edge to decrease scarring
- To aid in the healing of very severe burns or pressure sores (decubitus ulcers)
- To get a sample of tissue for testing and diagnosis
