Debridement: Understanding Wound, Fracture & Burn Debris Removal

The process of removing debris from a wound, fracture or burn is called "debridement". Debridement is a medical procedure that involves the removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue from a wound to promote healing and prevent infection. It can be performed surgically, with the use of instruments such as scalpels or forceps, or through non-surgical methods such as the use of dressings, enzymes, or hydrotherapy.
