Accredited Industry-Supported Symposium: Multidisciplinary Approaches to Wound Bed Preparation: Bridging Wound Healing and the Reconstruction Ladder

Supported by an educational grant from Urgo Medical North America.

Learning objectives:
• Define the concept of wound bed preparation and explain its role in the wound healing process
• Explain how clinicians can benefit from maintaining a clean wound bed between episodes of sharp surgical debridement—and, in some cases, facilitating wound closure without the need for sharp debridement
• Examine how wound bed preparation, utilizing specialized cleansers and advanced slough-removal technologies, contributes to optimizing the use of the reconstructive ladder
• Explore case studies that illustrate the multidisciplinary approach to wound bed preparation across diverse clinical settings, healing wounds without needless climbing of the reconstructive ladder to get to healing
