摘要：
The disclosed embodiments include tools for aiding a user in debriding necrotic tissue. For example, in one embodiment, a debridement tool (100) is disclosed that includes a housing (112) having an interior space. A motor (140) and a power source (160) are disposed within the interior space of the housing. The power source is operable to provide power to the motor. A blade (114) is coupled to a first end of the housing. The blade is operable to vibrate when the motor is powered. The debridement tool further includes a lighting element (120) disposed within the housing and beneath a cutting edge of the blade. The lighting element is operable to illuminate the tissue site. In some embodiments, the lighting element operates at a particular wavelength that assists in distinguishing between necrotic tissue and healthy tissue.
