HIGH POWERED PARALLEL WATERJET

Acute and chronic wounds are a major medical problem. Preparing a wound bed is an essential feature of their treatment. Wound bed preparation requires the removal of unhealthy and necrotic tissue as well as foreign bodies. The purpose of this study was to develop an improved surgical debridement instrument (VersaJet ™ , Smith and Nephew, Hull, UK) using fluidjet technology and to evaluate its applications in clinical medicine.
