Debridement is a vital step in advanced wound care. It involves the careful removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue from a wound to promote healing and reduce the risk of infection. By clearing away non-viable tissue, debridement helps create a healthy environment that supports new tissue growth and speeds up the recovery process.
At Family and Wound Care Solutions Inc., our wound care specialists use clinically proven debridement techniques tailored to each patient’s needs — including sharp, enzymatic, autolytic, and mechanical methods. Whether care is provided in our Paramount office, or in the comfort of your home, we ensure each procedure is done with precision, comfort, and compassion.

Your wound care specialist and healthcare provider will decide if it’s appropriate for you based on your medical history, current condition, and wound type.

You may feel some pressure or mild discomfort during the procedure. We use local anesthetics, topical numbing agents, or gentle techniques to keep you as comfortable as possible. Most patients tolerate the process well.
Healing time depends on the size, depth, and cause of the wound, as well as your overall health. Some wounds begin to show improvement within a week, while others may take several weeks or months. Regular follow-up visits help ensure steady progress.
Some wounds require just one debridement, while others need several sessions to fully remove all damaged tissue. Your care plan will be tailored to your wound’s needs and your healing response.
Most health insurance plans — including Medicare — cover medically necessary debridement. We can help verify your coverage before starting treatment so there are no surprises.
Yes — for eligible patients, our wound care specialists can provide debridement in the comfort of your home. This is especially helpful for patients with mobility challenges or those receiving hospice or home health care.

Both Noemi and Maria were professional and caring... a pain free treatment. Thank you!!
Dr. Michael Gitter is the most compassionate and caring doctor I've ever come in contact with… one wound completely closed, the other getting smaller.
After only a few UltraMIST treatments, my wounds are healing up fast and I’d say the swelling in my legs has gone down about 75%. And guess what’s the best part: zero pain.
