Maggot therapy
Maggot therapy is also known as maggot debridement therapy, larval therapy, larva therapy, larvae therapy, biodebridement or biosurgery. It is a type of biotherapy involving the introduction of live, disinfected maggots into the non-healing skin and soft tissue wound of a human or animal for the purpose of cleaning out the necrotic tissue within a wound and disinfection. It was long believed that the debridement is selective on necrotic tissue but new literature first questioned that belief. A recent clinical study in France showed non-selectivity of maggot action as wound surface increased over treatment.
