Wound debridement is a key part of advanced wound care — and at Encompass Healthcare in West Bloomfield, we provide this service safely and effectively in our outpatient setting, eliminating the need for a hospital visit.
Debridement is the medical process of removing dead or necrotic tissue from a wound site. While this tissue may seem harmless, it can actually slow or even prevent healing. By clearing it away, we create a clean wound bed that allows the body to restart the healing process. In many cases, debridement stimulates your body to respond as if it’s addressing a brand-new wound—triggering collagen production and other natural mechanisms essential for repair.
It’s important to understand that debridement is just one part of a comprehensive wound care plan. While it can accelerate healing in the right conditions, it is not a stand-alone solution. At Encompass Healthcare, we tailor every treatment plan based on the full picture of why a wound isn’t healing.
