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.
