Hand infection debridement

Does anyone know what the appropriate CPT code would be for an irrigation and debridement of deep palmar infection of the hand?

OP report says: "First, I slowly cleaned the hand of chronic purulence that was stuck into the palm. Despite a preoperative scrub and sterilization, there was still caked on dead skin that took quite a bit of time to slowly clean her hand down to the level of the normal tissue. Once we got to that point, it was clear that there was infection deep in the palm at the level just distal to the carpal tunnel. There was a fair amount of purulence that was debrided at the level of the flexor tendon sheath and bursa throughout the palm. I copiously irrigated and debrided and eventually closed the wound with interrupted 4-0 nylon quite nicely."

Thanks!!!
