For debridement of toes, local anesthesia is commonly used to numb the specific area being treated. Options may include lidocaine or bupivacaine, which can be administered via injection at the site of the procedure. In some cases, if the patient is particularly anxious or if the procedure is extensive, sedation or general anesthesia may be considered. The choice of anesthesia depends on the patient's needs and the extent of the debridement.

An excisional debridement involves utilizing a sharps/surgical instrument in a level of debridement that extends through the subcutaneous tissue. If the depth of the debridement does not extend through the subcutaneous tissue, it is not considered to be an excisional debridement. Typically, an excisional debridement may be supported with wound measurements that are larger post-debridement than pre-debridement.Lisa Bone BSN, CWOCN, CFCN
