It is known in the literature about the clinical and economic benefits of instillation therapy, ranging from reductions in hospital stays to fewer OR visits and beyond. This symposium will take a deeper look at the latest published data, new therapy indications and clinical applications of the newest innovations in NPWT - Instillation Therapy, and answer “WHY” a new paradigm shift is underway in the way we view this therapy.

During this session, the presenters will:
• Share cases that demonstrate the advantages of starting Instillation Therapy right away when tackling wounds from head to toe
• Share practical techniques that help simplify its application.
• Explore wound management strategies that are individualized at every stage of care
• Stimulate out-of-the box thinking during the Q&A session
