Selective removal of necrotic tissue: As autolytic debridement is selective, it spares viable tissue, thus minimizing pain and trauma. Reduced risk of infection: By maintaining a moist environment, autolytic debridement helps in reducing bacterial colonization and infection. Enhanced healing: The method promotes the natural healing of wounds, which is particularly beneficial for patients with compromised immune systems. Cost-effective: Since it uses the bodyâs own mechanisms and simple dressings, it can be more cost-effective compared to surgical debridement. Non-invasive: The non-invasive nature of autolytic debridement makes it suitable for patients who may not tolerate surgical procedures well.
