Wound Debridement

I was just wondering who does wound debridements in Long term care facilities?? Is it within an RN's Scope of practice to do Wound debridement!! thanks for your help

as long as it is not surgical debridement we are allowed to do it.

Get the maggots to do it - very clean and efficient. No, I'm not kidding, they make a lovely job of it, as long as the patient can tolerate the idea of maggots. Best debridement I have ever seen!

you know, I have heard soooo much about this and yet have never brought myself to ask a doc for an order of maggots.....but let me tell you, I have worked with and continue to treat wounds that may benefit from this. do we have any websites or some more info on this so I can research a bit?? and thanks for the advice, Ill let you all know how it works.

At the LTC facility I work at, the doctor does it.
