Accredited Industry-Supported Pre-Conference: Hands-On Mastery of NPWT: Innovations, Technologies, and Transitioning Care Across Settings

Supported by an educational grant from Solventum, Medical Surgical Business.

This is a hands-on workshop. Pre-registration is required.

Learning Objectives:
• Examine the evolution of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) and identify the latest advancements shaping current clinical practice
• Differentiate among NPWT technologies and apply an evidence-based, algorithmic approach to selecting appropriate therapies based on wound characteristics, patient needs, and care setting transitions
• Evaluate the science and clinical utility of novel peel-and-place dressings, including identifying wound types best suited for this technology
• Demonstrate advanced application techniques for NPWT, including instillation therapy, incision management, and the use of hybrid drapes
• Describe effective care transition strategies for NPWT, with a focus on optimizing outcomes using portable and adaptable technologies across acute and post-acute settings
• Analyze real-world case scenarios to explore the NPWT toolkit and implement step-down therapy strategies that support wound progression and closure
