EWMA Documents on debridement and antimicrobials

EWMA will produce two new documents in 2012:

The EWMA Document on Antimicrobials aims to meet the on-going discussion across Europe concerning the consequences of a biological mutation of infections and subsequent the potential resistance to current wound treatment. The document will describe the related aspects of antiseptic, antibiotic treatment and other relevant treatment methods.

The EWMA document on Debridement aim to provide an updated overview of the various debridement options. It will offer a clarification of the principal role of debridement and define the possibilities and limitations for standard and new debridement options.
