Sufficient Debridement Flashcards
Senescent cells
Two broad categories of debridement methods
- Selective
- Non selective
What are the three selective methods of debridement
- Autolytic
- Enzymatic
- Biologic
What are the two non selective methods of debridement
- Surgical
- Mechanical
What is selective debridement?
Only removes non viable tissue
What is non selective debridement?
Removes both non viable and viable tissue
A natural process that breaks down damaged tissue in a wound using the body’s own enzymes and moisture
Autolytic Debridement
A wound care technique that uses enzymes to break down dead tissue and promote healing
Enzymatic Debridement
What type of precise selective debridement is the use of maggots and fly larva
Biotherapeutic (biologic) debridement
Which non selective debridement method that uses anatomy recognition
Surgical Debridement
