Thursday: Innovations in diagnostics and wound management products

This webinar is kindly sponsored by Molnlycke.

The practice of wound management has evolved over the years enabling providers to further understand the barriers to healing and many consensus papers have been published providing guidance in the various aspects of caring for difficult to heal wounds. Technologies have been developed to aid in the early recognition of impediments to healing, overcome obstacles in care as well as improved accuracy in wound evaluation and documentation. Finally, innovations in materials to aid in wound cleansing and topical management have improved local care.

Many chronic wounds are complicated by the presence of spaces that may not be initially evident in the form of undermining, tracts and tunnels. A careful and thorough exploration of the wound is critical in order to identify these areas. Optimal wound management dicates that the practitioner continually assess and treat these areas to avoid the accumulation of exudates, debris and bacteria. This presentation will define these areas, discuss how to locate and assess them, and use cases to illustrate management options following optimal wound healing practices.
