Debriflo Patient Information

Debriflo UWI – Ultrasonic Wound Irrigation System

The Debriflo UWI device mixes ultrasonic waves with saline solution to clean your wound. The nurse will apply a local anaesthetic prior to the procedure and will ensure that you are comfortable. The hand piece is a hollow blunt titanium instrument that will spray the aerosolised saline to your wound. 

The vibrations of the solution will weaken the attachment of debris and unhealthy tissue to the healthy tissue as seen below. The debris can then be removed.

The procedure can be stopped immediately if you are in pain. The minimum amount of time depends on the size of your wound and the tissue that is present in your wound.

Usually the nurse will aim to irrigate your wound for at least 30 seconds per square cm. It is recommended that at least 6 procedures are performed.
