description Debridement can be defined as the removal of dead tissue or skin cells or a reduction in the necrotic tissue.1 One of the effective methods for the wound healing can be the live application of maggots (fly larvae) which can also be referred as Maggot Therapy. [...]various other scientists, including Zachmann, Fabricius and Milligen observed the activity of wound healing through maggots and carried out work in the field to prove its benefits.5 The Major boost to this field was mainly provided by the research or experiment carried out by BAER in 1929, as he treated over 100 children having soft tissue wounds by applying live maggots to the affected wound area. The enzyme proteases are released by the host leukocytes, which acts on the extracellular matrix and have potential to degrade and remove the damaged extracellular matrix component. [...]debridement is an important step in wound healing. [...]the dressing is more advantageous and easy to apply on the wound. * The Alternative Method for application is to just place maggots through the bandages on wound.
