Figure 1. — Debriding apparatus. Samples were debrided using an SD Mechatronik ZM-3 toothbrush simulator (Germany). Diagram of the debriding experiment setup. Debriding devices (gauze, Debrisoft^®, or Debrimitt™) were attached to solid supports and inserted into the simulator. Porcine skin biofilms were attached to custom fabricated clay moulds positioned directly beneath the debriding devices. A weight of 219 g was placed at the center of each brush, exerting a force of 12.6 kPa per sample. Debridement consisted of 50 linear strokes at a speed of 22 mm/s.
