Accurate pressure ulcer assessment

1 December 2014

Pressure ulcer (PU) assessment can be a challenge, particularly when the wound cannot be fully visualised. Mechanical debridement with Debrisoft can be used by practitioners across competency levels and can help fulfil this key need in practice.

This Quick Guide maps out a plan for decision-making for debridement in PUs, clearly explains where Debrisoft fits as a debridement option, and highlights the keys to PU categorisation from the new international guideline.
