The aim of the study was to present experience of doctors from the Center for Burns Treatment in Siemianowice Śląskie who use a Versajet system.Material and methods. Debridement with the use of a water jet was applied in 70 patients with IIbo /IIIo thermal burns in the period between 2009-2013. The corresponding evaluation involved duration of operation, locations, wound surfaces and technique of debridement after operation. Microbiological tests were also performed before and after debridement.Results and conclusions. In the paper, its authors draw attention to the short time of debridement. The application of a water jet allows precise debridement, particularly in hardly accessible places, preparation of wounds to be covered with autologous split thickness skin graft, protection of healthy tissues.
