Wound treatment is becoming increasingly complicated! There are literally hundreds of wound care products and therapy choices for patients to explore. How do you know you’re offering the BEST choice for the patient’s wound presentation?

Is this real-life patient situation familiar…

Mrs. K is a 72-year-old woman who suffers from persistent edema in both lower legs. She refused to wear compression stockings, resulting in irritation and weeping blisters. When Mrs. K was taken to the hospital with deteriorating heart failure, she was given TED stockings and Vaseline gauze to apply to the blistering areas.

The provider was unaware that those interventions were dangerous. Would you be comfortable recommending a one-sided silicone mesh to shield the blistered regions instead? Or the use of two layers of a compression sleeve if her doctor determined that the return of fluid to her system would not aggravate her congestive heart failure symptoms? Or a daily wash with chlorhexidine soap on both lower legs to help avoid infection?

Joan Junkin, RN, MSN, a national wound care expert, will demonstrate best practice use of a variety of wound products and treatments, including monofilament pads for mechanical debridement of biofilm and slough, negative pressure disposable options, and tools to greatly simplify the use of compression for lower extremity edema.

She will dissect the most recent study findings to help you make challenging patient care decisions.
