Hydroclean Advance, 7.5 x 7.5cm

Debridement is important to promote wound healing. Debridement is the process through which clinicians remove dead tissue and foreign materials from wounds. Dead tissue may be of different colors: black, gray, yellow or white. There are several methods of wound debridement, and mechanical debridement using products with synthetic fibers is one of them.

Mechanical debridement and removal of debris and exudates can be achieved by rubbing the wound with products that have synthetic fibers, such as polyester. Debridement with these products can help prepare the wound for debridement with scalpel or scissors, should your clinician opt to combine methods.
