Description

Supported by Smith+Nephew

There now exists an array of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy options. Until recently, no established recommendations or guidance existed regarding the type of NPWT system to use. Join this session to learn from Dr. Theresa Hurd and Dr. Rafael Diaz-Garcia, two expert clinicians who contributed to the 2021 publication, International Consensus Panel Recommendations for the Optimization of Traditional and Single-Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in the Treatment of Acute and Chronic Wounds.

Does it sound complicated or overwhelming to implement clinical and operational changes within your institution? This session will allow you to learn first-hand from clinicians that have enacted change and experienced positive results.


Learning Outcome

1. Demonstrate through clinical evidence and case presentation the clinical role and efficacy of tNPWT and sNPWT.
2. Describe the validated recommendations and clinical decision-making tools available to optimize the use of tNPWT and sNPWT.
