How does debridement support infection and biofilm management? (Choose 1 option)

HINT: See page 6

Necrotic and devitalised tissue provide the perfect environment for bacterial proliferation. Removing this tissue via debridement helps to reduce the bioburden, creating a more favourable environment for healing and reducing the risk of recurrent infection

Debridement does not help to treat local infection

Debridement agitates the wound bed, meaning that healthy cells can start to proliferate
