Negative Pressure Wound Therapy is used to promote wound healing and the removal of fluids from the wound area while still maintaining a moist healing environment.

Agents traditionally used in would bed preparation have varying degrees of effectiveness, and some are actually cytotoxic.

Venous disease is the most common cause of lower extremity ulceration, occurring in 3% of those above the age of 80. The goal of this program is to delineate management of venous ulcers based on research and summarize guidelines proposed by different organizations in a practical and clinically applicable manner.

Skin can quickly become damaged over the course of normal wound dressing changes as harsh adhesive is repeatedly applied and removed. Hy-Tape®, the Original Pink Tape is a gentle, yet durable zinc-oxide based adhesive tape that can be used for the securement of wound dressings, ostomy appliances, and other wound care devices.

Normal healing of acute skin wounds proceeds through the four sequential phases of hemostasis, inflammation, repair, and remodeling. However, if contaminating planktonic bacteria are able to proliferate and generate biofilm communities, it leads to chronic inflammation that produces persistently elevated levels of proteases and reactive oxygen species that destroy proteins that are essential for healing (extracellular matrix, growth factors, receptors) eventually leading to a stalled, chronic wound.

While exudate is a necessary part of the wound healing process, it can create complications if not managed properly. Learn how different dressing types play a role in creating an optimal wound healing environment, and discover how a conforming foam dressing can help address dead space and exudate pooling.

Despite advances in wound management technologies, the problem of chronic non-healing wounds continues.

As wound care professionals, preventing wounds before they occur is a key concern in caring for our patient populations.

In a recent economic analysis of more than 8 million wounds, the estimated cost of care approached 100 billion dollars.

In recent years, advances in tissue preservation have led to rapid growth in the development of various human placental membrane products, each characterized by different formulations and propertie

Because neuroischemic complications are associated with a high rate of recurrence, this presentation proposes a slight shift in how health care providers counsel and communicate risk to their patie

Preparing a wound for healing is key to ensure chronic wounds convert to healing wounds.

Choosing a wound dressing can be a difficult task, a task that is often debatable, confusing, and complicated.

When managing chronic wounds, health care professionals often turn to debridement to manage the necrotic tissue that impedes wound healing.

The management of chronic and complex wounds is a growing clinical challenge for health care providers across the continuum.

Chronic wounds are a significant and rising problem for clinicians. In this presentation, participants will learn the difference between an acute and chronic wound and review the DIME model.

In this presentation, participants will learn about the many factors involved in the risk for infection, as well as key challenges associated with accurate diagnosis and treatment of an infected wo

Moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) occurs when the skin comes into contact with an excessive amount moisture and has a damaging effect on the integrity of the skin.

Cheryl Carver, LPN, WCC, CWCA, FACCWS, DAPWCA, CLTC, provides guidance on the documentation of tissues types, and helps differentiate between the terms scab and eschar.

Presented by Dr. Diane Krasner, this webinar will present seven strategies for pressure injury prevention that you should consider for your facility/practice.
