How Ultrasonic Debridement Promotes Faster Healing
Debridement is a crucial procedure for removing dead, damaged or infected tissue from chronic wounds. Without this treatment wounds can become infected, surrounding tissues can die and healing may be delayed.
Ultrasonic debridement is a cutting-edge mobile wound and ulcer treatment service that uses ultrasonic waves to reduce bacteria and remove unhealthy tissue. This comfortable procedure offers precise targeting of necrotic tissue while preserving the healthy tissue to aid in recovery.
At Preferred Healthcare we may recommend this treatment for those with chronic wounds, burns, bed sores, venous ulcers and other complex wounds. We visit your home, skilled nursing facility, clinic or hospital to deliver convenient ultrasonic debridement treatment to accelerate the healing process.
The Ultrasonic Debridement Process
Patient safety and comfort are our priorities during ultrasonic debridement. Here are the key stages of the procedure.
- A thorough wound assessment that possibly includes mobile tissue analytics.

- Dead tissue and bacteria are removed to keep the wound clean.
- A dressing is carefully applied to promote faster healing.
As a reliable treatment for infected wounds and slow-healing injuries, ultrasonic debridement can help people overcome the issues preventing a full recovery. Using this advanced treatment, patients will experience the optimal conditions for wound healing and tissue repair.
Common Questions About Ultrasonic Debridements

Ultrasonic debridement is not usually painful and causes less discomfort than many alternative approaches. For those with highly sensitive wounds, local anesthetic is sometimes used to reduce any possible pain.
What are the main benefits of ultrasonic debridement?
The main benefits of ultrasonic debridement are its ability to selectively remove dead cells while preserving healthy areas, to reduce bleeding and to precisely target hard-to-each parts of the body. This procedure can also reduce bacteria in wounds.
How often do I need ultrasonic debridement treatments?
The frequency of ultrasonic debridement treatments that you’ll need depends on the severity of the wound and its healing progress. Some patients may be better served by weekly sessions with a wound care professional, while others will require less frequent visits.
