Authors' objectives:
To assess the safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of ultrasonic wound debridement device using low-frequency high intensity contact ultrasound for wound debridement.
Authors' recommendations:
There was limited evidence retrieved to show that this device was not associated with major complications.
However, mild pain was one of the reported adverse events.
Low frequency high intensity contact ultrasound debridement device or ultrasonic wound debridement
device seemed to have potential benefit as an adjunct to standard treatment for chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous ulcers and pressure ulcers. However, there was lack of good quality evidence. Hence, more quality evidence is required.
