Mechanical antiseptic is a method of cleansing a wound of foreign substances that can cause infection. It is used to treat wounds caused by damage to the skin or mucous membranes.
Mechanical antiseptic debridement is performed after surgery or injury to remove any foreign substances that may be present in the wound. Depending on the nature of the wound and its location
Antiseptics is a set of procedures and technologies aimed at suppressing or eliminating microorganisms that cause infectious diseases in humans and animals. When microorganisms enter the body, they feed on useful substances and release metabolic products, which leads to weakened immunity and the development of disease. Mechanical removal of infected particles from the affected tissue or cavity helps avoid the development of the infectious process and promotes recovery.
Mechanical antisepsis is one of the most effective methods of preventing infectious diseases, especially during surgical operations and in the treatment of open wounds. This is due to the fact that by mechanically removing infected tissue, it is possible to completely remove microorganisms from the infected area and prevent the spread of bacteria throughout the body. In addition, mechanical removal of infected tissue also promotes rapid wound healing and reduces the risk of complications.
Methods of mechanical antisepsis include dissection, excision, surgical cleaning, drainage, cannulation, as well as local administration of antiseptic solutions and antibiotics. Dissection and excision are used to remove infected areas of skin or tissue, and surgical debridement completely removes the infection and avoids secondary disease if reinfection occurs through tissue debris or pus. Drainage is used to remove pus by allowing it to exit the wound through special holes. Cannulation is an introduction
