The process involves various techniques, each suited to specific conditions:
Wet to dry dressings: A moist dressing is applied to the wound and allowed to dry, adhering to dead tissue, which is then removed when the dressing is taken off. Hydrotherapy: Utilizes water to soften and remove necrotic tissue, often through whirlpool baths. Scrubbing: Directly scrubbing the wound with gauze or a brush to detach dead tissue.
