Debridement
Most pressure ulcers are accompanied by necrotic tissue.
All the pressure ulcers in the above photo require the removal of necrotic tissue.
Necrotic tissue, which remains as "dead tissue," obstructs the healing process.
Therefore, proper removal of necrotic tissue is essential for the recovery of pressure ulcer wounds.
In many cases, the failure of long-term pressure ulcer healing is likely due to the presence of necrotic tissue.
Why do pressure ulcer wounds develop necrotic tissue, and why does it persist?
Necrotic tissue is rarely seen in acute wounds.
Even if it forms, it quickly disappears. So why does necrotic tissue persist in pressure ulcer wounds?
The answer lies in bacteria and biofilms.
Bacteria form a thin film on the wound, creating a persistent environment.
This triggers a continuous process of necrotic tissue formation, which is why it doesn’t naturally resolve in pressure ulcer wounds.
Pressure ulcers and necrotic tissue must be diligently removed for faster healing.
