Early and Proactive – Advanced Extracellular Matrix Technologies for Modern Wound Management and Soft Tissue Repair 

Hosted by Greg Bohn, MD, UHM/ABPM, MAPWCA, FACHM

This webinar was presented on June 10, 2020.

Modern healing physiology is better understood on a cellular level. The characteristics of a chronic wound such as a diabetic foot ulcer or venous stasis ulcer are much different than those of an acute surgical wound. Although acute and chronic wounds are thought to be different, understanding the role of a provisional Extracellular Matrix (ECM) can better assist the wound care provider in making better scientifically based treatment decisions that will lead to improved outcomes. 

Topics include:

  • Better understand the critical role of ECM in wound healing
  • Differentiate attributes of reconstituted collagen dressing, advanced tissue therapies, and an ECM
  • Identify the role of ECM technology in healing chronic versus acute wounds
  • Identify opportunities to use an ECM in the healing of acute wounds
