Grattage

A procedure that involves scraping the surface of an ulcer which is healing slowly to make it heal more rapidly.


The process of brushing or scraping the surface of a slowly healing ulcer or wound to stimulate healing. Grattage removes granulation tissue, which, though a stage in the healing process, sometimes overgrows or becomes infected and therefore delays healing.


The removal of epithelial lesions by rubbing with a brush or harsh sponge.
