debridement-surgical removal of foreign material and dead tissue from a wound in order to prevent infection and promote healing.
For dental debridement, see Debridement (dental). For the drug marketed under the name Debridat, see Trimebutine. Debridement /dáµ»ËbriËdmÉnt/ is the medical removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue to improve the healing potential of the remaining healthy tissue. Removal may be surgical, mechanical, chemical, autolytic (self-digestion), and by maggot therapy, where certain species of live maggots selectively eat only necrotic tissue.
