This multicentre, international user test was performed by experienced physicians and nurses in Germany and the UK, who used the monofilament-fibre pad in their clinical practice, after which they completed an evaluation questionnaire. The monofilament-fibre pad effectively, easily and safely removed slough and debris from wounds of various aetiologies and was effective in wounds of different shapes, such as in cavity wounds and those in hard-to-reach locations, and compared favourably to standard methods of debridgement.
