UCS® Debridement is a sterile system for the initial debridement and maintenance of chronic skin lesions and for the cleansing and hydration of the perilesional edges and the entire limb. The system is designed to improve and facilitate the cleansing and mechanical debridement phase. Recommendations for the management of a wound with the presence of biofilm include cleaning, debridement, and application of an appropriate dressing to keep the number of microorganisms to a minimum. The debridement activity should be started and undertaken regularly. The aim of this observational study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of biofilm removal by the medical devices used, reduction of pain during and after the procedure, reduction of operative times, reduction of bleeding, benefits to wound edges of the injury, and improvement of perilesional skin
