Abstract :
Wound debridement in open wounds is one of the most necessary actions to be performed for wound healing achievement. It can reduce the amount of non-viable tissues, microbial contamination and foreign bodies in the wound’s bed. As a result, wound healing will be accelerated and facilitated. There are different methods for wound debridement using various instruments or substances or even endogenous secretions. Each of these methods has its own benefits and drawbacks and for the best choice the wound condition evaluation, facilities and the performer’s ability should be considered. The key point is to choose the method with most positive and least negative effects on wound healing process.
