Abstract
The present invention is directed to a debridement and/or implant cleaning tool (1) in which the means for cleaning (4) is made of a biodegradable material. Thus, if parts of the means for cleaning (4) come loose during use, these will be degraded by natural processes in the body and will not remain in the body and cause negative body reactions.
