  • Title: [Mechanical debridement of wounds by nurses].
    Author: Palmier S, Peignier C.
    Journal: Soins; 2011; (752):38-41. PubMed ID: 21449186.
    Abstract:
    Debridement, the initial stage of the healing process, is often not effective enough, notably in the case of chronic wounds. Such wounds require specific treatment. Mechanical debridement carried out by the nurse consists in removing non vascularised tissue at the patient's bedside. Once this procedure becomes necessary, the nurse assumes responsibility and must use technical and clinical skills in order to carry it out in optimal conditions.
