Abstract

One of the main objects of wound débridement is to separate viable tissue from dead and dying tissue fragments. At the present time, most débridement is done by surgically cutting out and scraping away areas of necrotic or questionable tissue. The object of this study was to determine the quantitative effect of pulsed water-jet lavage on wound débridement, with the idea of eventually determining the optimal conditions so that water lavage could be used to perform wound débridement in a faster and less traumatic manner.
