Ultrasound-assisted wound debridement device

Debridement takes away nonvascularised tissue and cells that may obstruct wound contraction, the formation of granulation tissue and the migration of epithelial cells from the wound edge (Falanga, 2000) to create This article describes a new type of mechanical debridement that uses lowfrequency ultrasound technology, and presents case reports that highlight the use of the Sonoca® (Soring) ultrasound debridement device in clinical practice (Figure 1).
