Innovation Theater Breakfast (non-accredited/non-approved for CECH): An Overlooked Component of Pressure Injury Prevention: The Role of pHA in Prevention, Treatment, and Cost Efficiency

Sponsored by URGO.

Pressure injuries (PIs) are a significant concern in healthcare, often leading to adverse patient outcomes and substantial financial burdens for healthcare institutions. The management and prevention of PIs remain critical components in enhancing patient care and optimizing resource utilization. One promising intervention, pHA (pure hypochlorous acid) has demonstrated efficacy in both the treatment and prevention of pressure injuries. This presentation will explore the various treatment options for pressure injuries, emphasizing the integration of pHA in prevention bundles. Furthermore, we will examine the clinical outcomes associated with pHA, alongside the resulting economic benefits, including cost avoidance and improved patient care.
