Accredited Industry-Supported Hands-on Workshop: Navigating the Complexities of Lower Extremity Wounds

Learning Objectives
1. Describe the pathophysiology and clinical factors contributing to the complexity of lower extremity wounds
2. Evaluate the role of advanced wound care therapies—including skin substitutes, compression therapy, advanced dressings, topical oxygen therapy, debridement technologies, and negative pressure wound therapy—in the management of lower extremity wounds
3. Apply evidence-based techniques through case-based discussion and hands-on demonstration to optimize the use of advanced wound care modalities

Lower extremity wounds are among the most complex and costly to treat, demanding not only a deep understanding of pathophysiology but also mastery of advanced, evidence-based interventions. In this highly interactive workshop, participants will navigate real-world cases while engaging in hands-on demonstrations of cutting-edge therapies such as skin substitutes, compression therapy, advanced dressings, topical oxygen therapy, debridement devices, and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). This immersive format provides a rare opportunity to practice techniques under expert guidance, reinforcing both confidence and clinical skill.
