Debrisoft removes wound debris, necrotic material, slough and exudate and even long standing hyperkeratotic tissue from surrounding skin.
Debrisoft can be used on the actual wound. Debrisoft will not damage fresh granulation tissue and epithelial cells.
Debrisoft can debride wounds in just 2-4 minutes, rather than the days and even weeks with a dressing.
NICE has issued guidance recommending the use of Debrisoft on chronic and acute wounds in the community. NICE evaluated the clinical evidence and the Committee’s conclusion was that ‘the likely benefits of using the Debrisoft pad on appropriate wounds are that they will be fully debrided more quickly, with fewer nurse visits needed, compared with other debridement methods. In addition, the Debrisoft pad is convenient and easy to use, and is well tolerated by patients

Warnings and Precautions
Thick, tenacious slough and hard necrosis should be softened first by autolysis with dressings prior to removal with Debrisoft®.
Only use the soft, fleecy side of Debrisoft® on the wound, once moistened.
Change to preferred treatment regime once the wound becomes red and vascular following debridement with Debrisoft®.
Before debriding a wound or surrounding tissue, a full holistic assessment should be commenced.
