does slough impede healing
Wound slough has been described as a viscous, yellow, and relatively opaque layer on wound beds, while biofilm found in wounds has been suggested to appear more gel-like and shiny 23. Nevertheless, there may be a link between biofilms and slough.herefore, slough may indicate the presence of biofilm in a wound. However, such a link between slough and biofilms in chronic wounds is yet to be fully defined.Currently, the most reliable method to confirm the presence of microbial biofilm is specialised microscopy, eg confocal laser scanning microscopy.
