Use of a motorized waterjet to debride wounds to improve healing outcomes.
Hydroprep is a powered waterjet of saline solution used to debride, remove and surgically clean an open wound of any type to improve its ability to heal. The device may also be used to prepare a wound prior to application of a tissue product or a skin graft from the patient. Between treatments, the use of a negative pressure suction portable unit will be used to improve the healing outcome of the wound.
