Debridement Definition

January 18, 2013 by CACV Admin

Debridement (pron.: /dɨˈbridmənt/) is the medical removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue to improve the healing potential of the remaining healthy tissue. Removal may be surgical, mechanical, chemical,autolytic (self-digestion), and by maggot therapy, where certain species of live maggots selectively eat only necrotic tissue. (Wikipedia)

For this project, we are removing plastic that may otherwise wind up in our oceans to create art with it.
