Wound Hygiene Stage 2
Proactive debridment is an integral part of wound hygiene, as it will help with any wound not covered with granulation tissue to progress toward healing.1
Mechanical force, in combination with a surfactant or antimicrobial solution are effective ways of breaking up and clearing biofilm.2
Combined use of a topical surfactant-based wound cleansing solution and a debridement pad or gauze will augment cleansing sufficiently to distrupt and remove biofilm.
Debridement decontaminates the wound bed and removes the biofilm, thereby preparing it for dressing application, in line with the principles of wound bed preparation.
The Prontosan® Debridement Pad is designed for soft mechanical debridement of slough and debris. The Prontosan® Debridement Pad removes and binds sloughs and debris, and assists with effective wound bed preparation - new granulation tissue is left intact.
Features:
The Prontosan® Debridement Pad uses microfibres technology. Microfibres are very small and utilise 'electrostatic forces' to attract even the smallest particles to them.
Each microfibre has a multiple strand structure, allowing for many more particles of slough and debris to be removed from the wound bed and bound to each microfibre within the pad; not just brushed away as with traditional, much larger monofilament fibres.
There are milions of microfibres in each Prontosan® Debridement Pad for magnified debridement power.
