ISS: Rapid-Fire Multi-Specialty Panel: Integrating NPWT, Compression, and Advanced Dressings across the Continuum of Care

Learning objectives:

Evaluate the current evidence supporting advanced wound care technologies, including peel-and-place dressings, oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) with silver used in conjunction with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), and NPWT with instillation.

Assess the role of compression therapy, skin protectants, and superabsorbent dressings in optimizing edema control, periwound skin integrity, exudate management, and healing outcomes across a variety of wound types.

Analyze case-based scenarios demonstrating the evidence-based selection and integration of advanced wound care therapies—including peel-and-place dressings, ORC with silver under NPWT, NPWT with instillation, compression therapy, skin protectants, and superabsorbent dressings—for patients with complex wounds across the continuum of care.

Implement best practices for developing comprehensive treatment plans that incorporate advanced wound care technologies, with consideration of wound characteristics, patient-specific factors, and transitions across healthcare settings to optimize clinical outcomes.
