Debridement

Debridement is a medical procedure that involves removing dead, damaged, or infected tissue from a wound or surgical site. This process helps to promote healing, prevent infection, and prepare the area for further treatment. Debridement can be performed using various methods, including surgical tools, special dressings, or topical enzymes. It's commonly used for chronic wounds, burns, or ulcers to ensure that healthy tissue can grow and the body can properly heal. The procedure is often performed by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting.
