APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR ENZYMATIC DEBRIDEMENT OF SKIN LESIONS

摘要

The present invention relates to apparatus for debridement of devitalized tissue in skin lesions, comprising a plurality of height- and angle-adjustable inlet tubes (204) and at least one outlet tube (206) and means (230) to form an occlusive seal around a skin lesion. The plurality of inlet tubes is adapted for directing a continuous stream of enzymatic solution to the surface and into the entire volume of the wound bed of the lesion and the at least one outlet is adapted for removing the enzymatic solution, fluids draining from the lesion and tissue debris from the occluded skin lesion.
