Application aid for the treatment of wounds

An application aid for debriding of surgically invasive wounds comprising a bendable application wand having a rear end and a front end, a longitudinal direction, a front section adjacent the front end, a rear section adjacent the rear end, two opposite sides, and a cross section, said application wand further comprising an elastic bending section between the front section and the rear section, said bending section having greater flexibility than the front section and rear section, such that the application wand is deflected when a bending force is applied to the bending section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the application wand, and the application wand returns to its original state when the bending force is removed, wherein the front section holds a wound cleansing head, the wound cleansing head comprising a fiber wound cleansing pad or fiber wound cleansing wipe comprising synthetic fibers;

• and wherein the application wand is deflected by 5 mm to 8 mm when the bending force of between 21 N and 45 N is applied to the bending section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the application wand, wherein the bending force is applied using a 3 point bending device having two supports and a span between the supports, where the length of span between supports is between 40 mm and 60 mm.
