Ultrasonic Debridement
Advanced Treatment

Have you applied standard wound care methods to a slow-healing wound, only to be frustrated by seeing little to no results? Consider trying ultrasonic debridement. It utilizes sound wave technology for wound care, and you may experience enhanced healing with ultrasonic treatment.

MedCentris offers a wide range of non-invasive debridement techniques, including ultrasonic debridement, to promote quicker wound healing and minimize the risks associated with infections. Our experienced team of professionals can evaluate chronic and infected wounds, develop viable treatment plans, and demonstrate the effectiveness of gentle debridement for chronic wounds and other wounds that aren’t healing quickly enough on their own.

What Is Ultrasonic Debridement?

Ultrasonic debridement was first developed in the 1950s, and initially, it was used primarily by those within the dental industry to eliminate plaque and tartar from people’s teeth. However, it wasn’t long before those within the medical world began using ultrasound therapy for soft-tissue wounds. It has also routinely been utilized to perform precision cleaning for surgical sites among those in the medical community.

Today, ultrasonic debridement continues to be crucial in the successful treatment of chronic and infected wounds. It’s a minimally invasive treatment that uses sound wave technology. It can effectively remove necrotic tissue and remove biofilm that may prevent wounds from healing properly.

Ultrasonic debridement is just one of the many non-invasive debridement techniques used to treat wounds at MedCentris. Our knowledgeable staff of specialists can assist you in deciding whether choosing advanced wound care with ultrasound is the right option. We can also help you learn more about our other wound medicine treatments.

How Does Ultrasound-Assisted Wound Cleaning Work?

Understanding how ultrasound-assisted wound cleaning works may put your mind at ease by showing you why it’s one of the more effective non-invasive debridement techniques. This is what takes place when MedCentris uses ultrasonic therapy for wound healing on patients:

1. A specialized probe is used to send low-frequency ultrasound waves into a wound.
   
   
2. These ultrasound waves create microscopic bubbles within the wound.
   
   
3. The bubbles collapse and generate a mechanical force.
   
   
4. This force removes dead tissue from the wound and cleans it during a process called cavitation.
   
   
5. The wound starts to heal more quickly after dead tissue is removed.

When Is Advanced Wound Care With Ultrasound Used?

Advanced wound care with ultrasound is typically used when chronic and infected wounds fail to respond to more traditional treatments. Ultrasonic debridement has been shown to be especially effective at treating wounds containing larger-than-usual amounts of biofilm.

MedCentris might suggest using sound wave technology for wound care to treat various types of wounds including (but not limited to):

• Diabetic ulcers
• Pressure ulcers
• Venous leg ulcers
• Burn wounds
• Fournier’s gangrene

What Are the Benefits of Using Ultrasonic Therapy for Wound Healing?

Using ultrasonic therapy for wound healing through MedCentris often provides a long list of benefits. It can, for example, be used to perform effective necrotic tissue removal while eliminating biofilm. You may also find that you will enjoy enhanced healing with ultrasonic treatment.

Here are several other benefits of utilizing ultrasonic therapy:

• Targets and removes dead tissue from a wound without negatively impacting the healthy tissue surrounding it
• Reduces the amount of potentially dangerous bacteria in a wound by disrupting bacterial biofilms
• Improves the wound environment to promote faster healing

Ultrasonic therapy is also heralded for producing little pain for patients if they experience any pain at all. It usually leads to patients bleeding less than they would while using other noninvasive debridement techniques, making it an ideal option for patients with impaired blood clotting.
