Form of sharp debridement using scissors or scalpel to cut along the lines of demarcation between viable and non viable tissue |
|
|
Serial instrumental debridement |
Form of sharp debridement using forceps and scissors to remove loosely adherent devitalized tissue. Usually occurs over a number of visits and may require prior tissue preparation |

|
Surgical debridement |
Use of scalpels, scissors or lasers in a sterile environment by a physician or podiatrist to remove necrotic tissue, foreign material, and debris from the wound bed |
|
|
TIME |
Wound bed preparation: Tissue, non-viable or deficient, Infection/ Inflammation; Moisture imbalance; Edge of wound, non- advancing or undermined |
|
|
Wound cleansing |
Delivery of a wound cleanser to the wound surface using mechanical force to remove lightly adhered necrotic tissue, debris, and bacteria |
|
|

|
|
Impregnated gauze |
Mesh gauze incorporating a topical agent, such as an amorphous hydrogel or petrolatum |
|
|
Moisture retentive dressing |
Specialized synthetic or organic wound dressing |
|
|
Moisture vapor transmission rate |
Rate at which gas is able to escape through a moisture retentive dressing |
|
|
Occlusion |
Ability of a dressing to prevent transmission of a moisture vapor and gas from the wound bed |
|
|
Primary dressing |
Wound covering that comes into direct contact with the wound bed |
|
|
Secondary dressing |
Wound dressing placed over the primary dressing that provides increased protection, cushioning, absorption and/or occlusion |
|
|
Semi- occlusive dressing |
Moisture and vapor permeable dressing |
|
|
Semipermeable film |
Moisture retentive wound dressing consisting for a transparent polyurethane sheet with an adhesive backing; impermeable to bacteria and water |
|
|
Semipermeable foam |
Moisture- retentive wound dressing consisting of a polyurethane foam with or without an adhesive backing |
