Sloughy wounds
These need debriding to remove the abnormal matrix of fibrin, exudate, inflammatory cells and bacteria. This can be done by surgical debridement or by an agent that soaks up debris and forms a moist gel. Options are:
Polysaccharide dressing as beads or paste.
Hydrocolloid dressing if wound less exudative.
Alginate dressing.
Enzymes.
