• Wet to dry debridement is effective at converting a chronic granulation bed to a healthy granulation bed. We may have scraped that granulation bed with the number 10 scalpel blade, but following on from that we will apply a lavage and then a ______. We soak the ______ in Hartman's or isotonic solution until wet and then place them on the chronic granulation bed. Then we place more dry swabs on top and then a conforming layer - then an elasticated bandage layer ( like Vet wrap). This is changed every 24 hours. We convert a chronic granulation bed which is unhealthy to a healthy granulation bed. Often we sedate for this procedure - unless general anaesthetic is required.
