Innovation Theater Dinner: The Role of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Treating Acute and Chronic Wounds (non-accredited)

This interactive clinical discussion will explore the role of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the management of acute and chronic diabetic wounds. Attendees will gain practical insights into the clinical evidence supporting PRP therapy, patient selection considerations, and successful treatment approaches utilized in real-world practice. Through expert-led discussion and case-based learning, participants will review clinical outcomes, application techniques, and implementation strategies for incorporating Centrio™ PRP into wound care programs. In addition, the faculty will share their experiences navigating the value analysis process, obtaining formulary approval, and building multidisciplinary support for PRP adoption. Participants will leave with actionable takeaways, practical implementation tools, and a deeper understanding of how PRP can enhance their wound care armamentarium and improve patient outcomes.
