Advancing Integral Debridement in Clinical Practice
Debridement is evolving from a one-time intervention to a continuous, integrated strategy. This program explores how combining complementary approaches across the care continuum can help maintain a clean wound environment, support healing momentum, and drive more consistent outcomes.

Nurse-Driven Continuous Integral Debridement for Improved Patient Outcomes
Thursday, May 21Dieter Mayer, MD, FEBVS, FAPWCA and Yvette Mier BSN, RN, CWON
This webinar presents a nurse-driven approach to continuous integral debridement, focusing on practical, non-sharp strategies to support ongoing wound bed preparation. Participants will learn how to implement a structured Cleanse → Debride → Cleanse → Dress workflow, translating evidence-based guidance into consistent bedside practice to remove barriers to healing.
Learning Objectives
- Apply the concept of integral debridement in clinical practice using a structured Cleanse → Debride → Cleanse → Dress workflow when sharp debridement is not an option.
- Identify opportunities to advance continuous wound bed preparation through non-sharp debridement strategies, including effective use of cleansing, dressing selection, and treatment sequencing
