Toenail debridement refers to the act of physically removing any unwanted tissue or substance from a toenail or associated structures. What this exact substance is can vary greatly; however, the unifying trait is that anything removed is typically unwanted or harmful. Toenail debridement can sometimes be aesthetic but can also be life saving.
Modern medicine debridement may include removing necrotic tissues, foreign debris, bacteria or other devitalized tissue from the wound area. Tissue that is transitioning from viable to devitalized tissue is called slough. Tissue that is completely non-viable is called necrotic tissue.
