Sharing good practice: Using Triad for wound debridement
Debridement is a key step in the wound healing process, but some options for debridement can be cost-prohibitive or difficult to access. Triad is a sterile coating that offers a clinical and cost-effective option for wound debridement. Triad is hydrophilic and creates a moist environment that promotes debridement, whilst CMC allows absorption of liquified necrotic tissue.
Triad vs MediHoney®
The main uses and indications for MediHoney and Triad are not completely interchangeable. For the debridement of necrotic tissue, Triad offers a valid alternative in the form of a single product without the need for skin protectants or secondary cover dressings. Triad is single patient use, and one tube of Triad is often enough for a few treatments. Triad adheres to wet and irregular surfaces and is ideal for difficult-to-dress wounds, creating a moist wound healing environment and protecting the wound and skin from incontinence and maceration.
Triad vs Collagenase Santyl® Ointment
Enzymatic debridement is an effective method of debridement, but in some cases it can be cost-prohibitive. In addition to the cost, the accessibility of this form of debridement can affect timely application. Across a case series, the use of a zinc oxide-based hydrophilic wound dressing was demonstrated to be both cost-effective and clinically effective in promoting a moist wound environment to facilitate autolytic debridement.
