To remove dead, contaminated or adherent tissue or foreign material.
The purpose of wound debridement is to remove all materials that may promote infection
and impede healing. This may be done by enzymatic debridement (as with proteolytic
enzymes), mechanical nonselective debridement (as in a whirlpool), or sharp debridement
(by surgery). Debride comes from the French débrider, to remove the bridle (as from
a horse).
