Autolytic Debridement

Autolytic debridement is a natural healing process where the body uses its own enzymes and moisture to break down and remove dead tissue from a wound. This method promotes cleanup of unhealthy tissue in a gentle, painless way, often with the use of special dressings that keep the wound moist. It is a safe and effective option for certain wounds, especially in patients with limited blood flow or sensitivity, because it encourages the body's own cleaning process without the need for surgical intervention.
