Recomendación


Se recomienda adoptar la almohadilla de desbridamiento de monofilamento Debrisoft como parte del tratamiento de heridas agudas o crónicas en la comunidad.


NICE    (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE))


The available evidence is limited, but 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. Debridement is an important component of standard woundcare management as described in the NICE guidelines on pressure ulcers and diabetic foot problems. The Debrisoft pad is indicated for adults and children with acute or chronic wounds. The available evidence is mainly in adults with chronic wounds needing debridement in the community. The data show that the device is particularly effective for chronic sloughy wounds and hyperkeratotic skin around acute or chronic wounds.
