Role of early debridement in non-healing ulcer

Hence for faster recovery of the wound the concept of wound bed preparation came into picture. To achieve such wound bed that is conducive to healing is basic requirement for fastening the process of wound healing. Here debridement plays a vital role in wound bed preparation. Debridement leads to removal of the devitalized or non-viable tissue that acts as barrier to wound. In current medical practice new TIME acronym is used by the practitioners to assess the wound accurately and plan the required intervention appropriately.
