Feedback:
Debridement is the removal of necrotic tissue on which microorganisms could thrive from a burned area to reduce the possibility of infection. Debridement does not relieve pain but rather is a very painful procedure. Debridement does not influence extremity mobility. The need for skin grafts depends on the depth of the burned tissue.
