Innovations in Wound Hygiene: Illuminating What Our Eyes Cannot See

Join Dot Weir and Dr. Lee Ruotsi in their wound care center, where they will employ a variety of hygiene strategies on their patients. Their wound hygiene efforts will be illuminated by point-of-care fluorescence imaging (MolecuLight) to immediately reveal changes, or persistence, in bacterial loads in the wound bed and periwound regions. Participants of this webinar will:

• Watch and learn how bacteria are inadvertently spread, transferred, or missed during wound hygiene strategies guided by our eyes alone.
• Learn how wound care experts are using fluorescence imaging information to better inform hygiene and other clinical decision making at the bedside, thereby transforming their clinical approach and practice.
• Hear and witness the importance of hygiene in the periwound region, strategies to remove bacteria from the periwound, and how removal of bacteria has improved outcomes.
• Hear how fluorescence imaging better involves the patient in their wound care journey and increases patient appreciation of the necessity of wound hygiene procedures.
