Mechanical Wound Debridement Mechanical wound debridement is a treatment to remove dead tissue from a wound. This helps the wound heal. The treatment involves cleaning the wound (irrigation) and using a pad or gauze (dressing) to remove dead tissue and debris from the wound. There are different types of mechanical wound debridement. Depending on the wound‚ you may need to repeat this procedure or change to another form of debridement as your wound starts to heal. LET YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER

maggot therapy mechanisms of action Medicinal maggots have at least two confirmed beneficial effects on wounds that can be supported by laboratory investigations. They are debridement‚ or elimination of necrotic tissue‚ and removal of pathogenic bacteria. There is moreover‚ evidence from recent studies that they may also accelerate wound healing by promoting the formation of granulation tissue as suggested by the early literature‚ Wound debridement activity Necrophagous larvae feed on the dead

Meat and Maggots Joanne Lorenz SC1130: Week 1 Exploring the Scientific Method April 14‚ 2013 Dustin Childress Meat and Maggots This week we were asked to attempt a scientific experiment‚ I attempted to observe 2 jars‚ in each jar I put a piece of meat. On one of the jars I placed a stopper and on the other I left it open so that the air can get to the meat. I then watched for 3 days to see what happens. The question that I was trying to find out is do fly’s

Investigation: How does the number of maggots in the mass affect the temperature of maggot mass and development of maggots in the mass? Abstract The aim of this investigation is to find a correlation between the number of maggots in the mass and the temperature of maggot mass. To find the correlation the different number of maggots in each mass was placed in (the isolated by glass beakers) polystyrene cups. The internal temperature of masses was obtained regularly every 10 minutes during 30

When we first answered the question we were completely wrong. All the piglets seemed to share maggots and blow flies. At the beginning of the lab only blow flies were seen on the decomposing piglets. A few days after the blow flies were seen the maggots came. After the maggots arrived‚ the decomposition rate of the piglets started to speed up. Theory question seven is what is the effect of a decomposing piglet on the soil underneath

a Break and the Power of Healing What is a Wound? A wound may be described in many ways; by its aetiology‚ anatomical location‚ by whether it is acute or chronic1‚ by the method of closure‚ by its presenting symptoms or indeed by the appearance of the predominant tissue types in the wound bed. All definitions serve a critical purpose in the assessment and appropriate management of the wound through to symptom resolution or‚ if viable‚ healing. A wound by true definition is a breakdown in the protective

Meat and Maggots I was asked to recreate the Redi experiment that was preformed originally in 1668 by disproving the spontaneous generation of maggots on meat. In this experiment there were steps that first had to taken. Step1. Observation: Step2. Ask Questions: Step3. Develop a Hypothesis: Step4. Make a prediction: Step 5. Perform experiment: Step 6. Collect results: Step 7. Interpret results and make conclusions. This was done by placing meat inside two jars and observing What would
