2026 Sessions

PAWSIC: Into the Fold: Microclimates, Friction, and Pannus Management

Moisture management becomes increasingly complex in patients with deep skin folds, limited mobility, severe contractures, or bariatric anatomy. This session explores the clinical challenges of trapped moisture, heightened fungal risk, and skin breakdown in hard-to-access areas, highlighting assessment strategies and early intervention techniques. Faculty will also review the role of specialized textiles and advanced fabric technologies in wicking moisture, reducing friction, and protecting vulnerable skin—equipping clinicians with practical solutions to improve outcomes in high-risk populations.
