Wound Cleansing Biological

Introduction

Biological cleansing of a wound is a complex and multifaceted process that allows the body to get rid of pathological cells, toxins and other damaging factors. It begins immediately after the injury and continues for several weeks. At the same time, different types of wounds have their own characteristics of the cleaning process.

What is wound cleaning biologically?

Cleansing a wound biologically is the process of removing dead tissue, infectious agents and their waste products from the wound. This is accompanied by the destruction of the wound matrix and the creation of new structural elements. All of these processes are integral parts of normal wound healing.

The purpose of biological wound cleansing

The purpose of biological cleansing is to facilitate and accelerate the wound healing process, as well as to prevent the formation of complications and pathological changes. To do this, it is necessary to monitor the healing process and take into account all factors that may have a negative impact on it.

Mechanisms of biological wound cleansing include

Phagocytosis is the process of absorption by microorganisms and foreign cells (xenobiotics) by the “organism’s nurses”, which allows for the physiological destruction of cell wall lysis. Segregation of pathological material - this mechanism consists in removing the contents of the wound beyond the focus of damage - remnants of microbial bodies incapable of differentiation, free proteoglycans, microbes, vesicle membranes, protein complexes and trophic mediators. Foreign particles also enter the blood, macrophages absorb this material and process it. The mechanism includes the release of lysozyme, prostaglandins, cytokines to trigger inflammation and growth processes
