Devitalized Tissue: What to Look For
Wound debridement is an essential component of wound care and is integral to healing in chronic wounds to remove devitalized tissue from a wound. This removal of devitalized tissue is essential to promote granulation tissue formation and epithelization for wound closure. There are different kinds of devitalized tissue that may be debrided in a variety of ways. The type of debridement selected may be dependent on the characteristics of the wound, the clinician’s skill level, the treatment settings, and the patient’s needs at the time of care. By the end of this webinar, wound care professionals will be able to:
- Identify devitalized tissue types
- Determine when debridement is appropriate
- Understand the different types of debridement and when they may be appropriate
- Discuss examples of the different types of debridement
