What is Debridement

It is a medical procedure that removes dead skin (sometimes infected) so that the existing wound can heal faster. It may be done after a surgery or a recent injury. Some diseases may also lead to wound that takes longer to heal, for example with diabetes.

Debridement rates will mainly depend on the extent of the wound. In most hospitals in the Philippines, the price of the procedure can range from Php 500 for minor wounds in small clinics to Php 20,000 especially if the wound is severe. Note that there are various factors to consider in terms of pricing.
