Smith + Nephew Sponsored Learning: A Route to More Effective Chronic Wound Management

Chronic wounds can be challenging to heal. One of the most challenging components of chronic wound management is prevention and management of infection, biofilms, and progressing the wound to a healing trajectory. Despite best practice principles, including addressing the cause, tissue debridement, managing infection and moisture balances, the edge of a wound may not advance. The negative impact of wounds on patients is significant, and includes pain, reduced quality of life and social isolation. Optimal wound healing can reduce the burden of chronic wounds on patients and the health economy. Join Dr Kevin Woo & Dr Caroline Dowsett to learn more about how you can pave a better way to healing these chronic wounds through utilization of infection management and single use negative pressure wound therapy (PICO) pathways in hard-to-heal wounds. These methods support clinical decision making, improve patient outcomes, lower the cost of treatment and reduces the cost burden on the health economy.
