A monofilament pad (Debrisoft, Activa
Healthcare) has recently been introduced as
an alternative to gauze. The wound-contact
side is fleecy in appearance and, after wetting,
is gently wiped over the surface of the
wound for 2-4 minutes. The manufacturer
claims the fibre pad removes debris and
dead tissue, leaving healthy granulation
tissue intact. It is recommended that any
thick, stubborn slough or hard, necrotic
tissue is softened with appropriate dressings
before using the pad (Strohal et al, 2013;
Wounds UK 2013). This method has been
found to be quick, easy to use and relatively
painless, making it an ideal method for less
experienced practitioners (Bahr et al, 2011).
