Description

Wounds typically heal in a predicable manner, but when progress unexpectedly comes to a halt it can be challenging to identify the next treatment step. With the risk of spreading infection, sepsis, amputation and even death, chronic wound care is a high stakes arena for rehab professionals that requires a very specialized skillset. After over 36 years in the field, I’m going to share my triedand- true tricks of the trade for restoring and accelerating tissue healing.

You’ll explore a specialized method to address chronic wounds that’s filled with advanced healing strategies:

  • Feel confident as you choose the most appropriate dressing
  • Explore in depth demonstrations for Doppler use, ABIs, and wrapping techniques
  • Create a comprehensive wound care plan
  • Skillfully determine which modality to use and when
  • Restimulate the appropriate metabolic activity to promote healing

By the end of this training, you will have new and evidence-based techniques that heal tough wounds, prevent amputation, and improve quality of life. Your expert knowledge of anatomy, tissue healing, movement and positioning will help to restore function faster than ever before and drastically improve patient outcomes. Join us for this interactive learning experience!
