Abstract
A treatment system (100) for debriding an area of a tissue site is disclosed. In some embodiments, the system may include a debridement tool (122) which may be fluidly connected to a negative-pressure source (116) and a fluid source (118). The system may also include a control unit for interfacing with an operator and for regulating the application of negative pressure and delivery of treatment fluid to the debridement tool. The debridement tool may include multiple fluid conduits for delivering and removing fluid to and from the tissue site, as well as a brush (128) for assisting with the removal of necrotic tissue.
