Biofilm remains one of the most persistent challenges in chronic wound care—reforming in just 12 to 24 hours. It evades the immune system and drastically reduce the effectiveness of antimicrobials.
In a new video, Dr Nicoletta Frescos shares key insights from the recently released: 📄 Autolytic Continuous Debridement with a Focus on Biofilm: Consensus Document for the APAC Region
This important document reflects the collective expertise of an APAC-based panel of clinicians, addressing the unique challenges faced in the region and promoting a more proactive and continuous approach to wound bed preparation.
🔑 Key Takeaways from the Consensus:
- Continuous autolytic debridement plays a vital role in managing biofilm between physical debridement sessions
- It complements other modalities to maintain a prepared wound bed
- Supports healing progression, reduces risk of infection, and enhances patient outcomes
- It is particularly relevant for APAC healthcare settings where access to regular debridement may vary
