Debridement

Description:

The intent of this protocol is to salvage wound material that is normally destined for destruction, so it can be used in wound-related scientific studies. This clinical wound material can be studied in order to better understand the molecular, cellular, or ecological components of the wound system. These studies may be able to provide important insights into the keys of wound healing, wound persistence, or wound deterioration.
