This service is billed in addition to the main procedure for cleaning and removing damaged or dead tissue down to the level of muscle or connective tissue from a wound, covering an additional area beyond what the main procedure already treated in the same session. It's used for wounds too large to be fully treated by the base service alone. It supports healing by removing tissue that could otherwise slow recovery or increase infection risk.
