Wound Cleaning and Dead Tissue Removal (up to 20 sq cm)

Debridement is the removal of dead tissue from an open wound so that living tissue underneath can heal. This code covers a session on a wound surface of about twenty square centimeters or less, including assessing the wound, cleaning it, taking away devitalized tissue, and applying a topical dressing. The measured size of the wound is what decides which code applies.
