The Canadian Association for Enterostomal Therapy Conservative sharp wound
debridement evidence-based recommendations are a result of the decision and
commitment to advance clinical nursing practice to improve the provision of care
to patients via development of an open source guide. The recommendations were
developed by a volunteer group of ET nurses who work in clinical practice, policy
development, consultation, and education in wound care. The document was
developed over the course of 2 years (2009-2011); it is a distillation of
existing literature, guidelines, and expert opinion. The development and
dissemination of the recommendations were sponsored by the Canadian Association
for Enterostomal Therapy. These recommendations should be considered in the
context of the organization or care setting as well as available resources and
supports. Resources and supports take the form of access to emergency care,
physicians and allied health care professionals, education, administrative
support, funding, supplies, equipment, and policy. The recommendations should
also be applied with consideration of the evolving evidence that will further
define practices in Conservative Sharp Wound Debridement. Refer to the
