This session will focus on the importance of understanding the technology underlying the features that help dressings provide effective exudate and wound management. The discussion will be enhanced with clinical cases providing real-world evidence. Copyright © 2020 WoundSource & Kestrel Health Information, Inc.
Topic: Biofilm
This session will depict the clinical assessment of the presence of biofilm and highlight effective intervention techniques and management of chronic wounds. Originally presented at Wild on Wounds 2020.
Topic: Post-Acute
Originally presented at WoundCon Summer 2021. ConvaTec Complete™ is an innovative program focused on helping post-acute providers meet the opportunities provided by PDPM and PGPM, by leveraging a standardized formulary and clinical pathway, which incorporates Wound Hygiene, as well as mobile digital training tools, to meet the challenges of staff turnover. Learn about the success of a Life Care Community campus in implementing the ConvaTec Complete™ program to achieve operational efficiencies and improved clinical and financial outcomes duringthe COVID 19 pandemic.
Topic: Pressure Injuries
This session will focus on management of COVID-19 patients undergoing various proning procedures, including the use of specialty proning beds, manual proning, and the use of specialty equipment in proning.

Topic: Wound Hygiene
Original presented at WoundCon Summer 2021. Hard-to-heal wounds continue to challenge wound clinicians across the continuum of care, and mounting evidence points to biofilm being a culprit. Join us as Richelle Roethler, FNP, CWCN-AP discusses the rationale for the Wound Hygiene approach to hard-to-heal wounds and details the steps of the protocol, with enhanced clinical cases of the Wound Hygiene protocol in practice.
Topic: Wound Hygiene
Learn how to defy hard-to-heal wounds with Wound Hygiene's early anti-biofilm interventions. Designed for frequent, regular and repetitive use, the simple four-step regime enables you to comprehensively clean a wound and prepare it for healing.
Topic: Wound Hygiene
Learn more about Step One in Wound Hygiene: Cleanse. Cleanse the wound bed to remove devitalised tissue, debris and biofilm. Cleanse the periwound skin to remove dead skin scales and callus, and to decontaminate it.
Topic: Wound Hygiene
Learn about Step Two (Debridement) and Step Three (Refashioning) in Wound Hygiene.
Topic: Wound Hygiene
Step Four in Wound Hygiene is Dressing. Address residual biofilm while preventing/delaying regrowth of biofilm by using dressings containing antibiofilm and/or antimicrobial agents.
Topic: Wound Hygiene
The concept of wound hygiene arose during an expert advisory board meeting held in early 2019. The panel discussed ways of embedding real change into generalist practice. Hence, it devised the concept of wound hygiene, which is based on the premise that, just as we follow basic hygiene everyday by washing our hands, brushing our teeth and showering to keep clean and ward off germs, so we should apply basic hygiene to wounds.
General Wound Care
This course covers 5 of the factors important for wound healing. Barriers to wound healing such as inappropriate moisture balance, decreased oxygen levels, medications and other impediments to healing are discussed. Finally, must-have wound care products and myths about wound healing are described. Courtesy of Wound Care Education Institute. Use Code ConvaTec21 (valid through 12/31/21).
