Sharp Debridement

Sharp debridement is a medical procedure that involves carefully removing dead or infected tissue from a wound using a sterile, precise instrument like a scalpel or scissors. This technique helps to clean the wound, reduce infection risk, and promote faster healing by allowing healthy tissue to grow. It is typically performed by healthcare professionals trained in wound care. Sharp debridement is often used for chronic wounds or those with significant dead tissue that cannot be removed comfortably with other methods, ensuring the wound environment is optimal for healing.
