8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. ADDITIONAL $25 LAB FEE500 HOW TO: HANDS-ON WORKSHOP: Total Contact Casting – Redefining the Gold StandardDr. Shaun Carpenter MD, FAPWCA, CWSP, CEO of MedCentris(Limited Seating. No CE/CME offered)
Total Contact Casting (TCC) is one of the most well recognized and documented successful treatments for the diabetic foot ulcer. At the same time, it is one of the most underutilized treatments. Understanding the different products can assist in increasing utilization and thereby increasing the number of healed DFU’s. Technology has changed dramatically and the utilization of a TCC for proper offloading is easier than ever before. In this HANDS-ON session, you will learn how to apply a TCC in less than 20 minutes, from preparation to the patient walking out of the room, all while achieving proper offloading. Also remove a TCC in approximately one minute without the need or use of a cast saw. We will review the selection process of a TCC candidate as well as the indications and contraindications for using a TCC for proper offloading.
1:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. (ADDITIONAL $10 LAB FEE)502 HOW TO: HANDS-ON: Practical Compression:

This hand-on class is aimed at the importance of compression. The session addresses the vital role that compression plays in wound healing and prevention of wound recurrence. Participants will understand the indications for various compression levels and different compression types and know the importance of choosing the compression that best stimulates venous return. During this portion of the workshop we will encourage clinicians to trial different compression systems and practice don/doffing so that they can best coach their patients in the life-long need for compression.
1:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. (ADDITIONAL $150 LAB FEE)501 HOW TO: HANDS-ON: Sharp Debridement Bill Richlen PT, WCC, DWC, WCEI Instructor, Infinitus, LLC Theresa Ferrante BS, PTA, CKTP, WCC, Grandview Hospital

10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. (Concurrent Sessions)102 Mythbusters 2019: “Taking on the Dabbler” Michael Miller DO, FACOS, FAPWH, CEO and Medical Director at Miller Care GroupThere are many commonly used and accepted treatments and techniques employed in current wound care settings that have little to no scientific evidence. Their anecdotal support has gained a myriad of followers who “drink the Kool-Aid” but in fact, are not aware of the unscientific, potential contraindications of these techniques. This lecture presents in humorous fashion, a hard look at some of these techniques that exist in myth and either have no scientific support or the science contraindicates their use.
10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. (Concurrent Sessions)103 Clinical Conundrums: Which Takes Priority-Weight Loss or Wound Healing? Liz Friedrich MPH, RDN, CSG, LDN, FAND, NWCC, President, Friedrich Nutrition ConsultingClinicians frequently face a dilemma when they are treating obese patients with pressure injuries or chronic wounds. To maximize wound healing, additional protein and calories are often required; however, calorie reduction is usually recommended to facilitate weight loss. This session will outline nutrition care issues related to this clinical conundrum and guide the clinician on how to prioritize treatment.
10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. (Concurrent Sessions)104 Oh Say Can You “C”? Differentiating Collagens in Clinical PracticeCatherine T. Milne APRN, MSN, ANP/ACNS-BC, CWOCN-AP, Co-owner Connecticut Clinical Nursing Associates, LLCCollagen dressings come in a variety of sources.

Milne APRN, MSN, ANP/ACNS-BC, CWOCN-AP, Co-owner Connecticut Clinical Nursing Associates, LLCThis session explores the risk factors for developing skin tears and helps you classify their severity using accepted ISTAP guidelines. More importantly, you will learn the many interventions available for treatment and how to select the best one for your patient. Additionally, the role of MARSI (Medical Adhesive Related Skin Injury) in development and treatment of skin tears is reviewed.
2:45 p.m. – 3:45 p.m. (Concurrent Sessions)106 Microbiology and Wound Care TreatmentsJames B. Stiehl MD, MBA, Managing Partner at Stiehl Tech LLCTreatment of chronic infected wounds requires dealing with bacteria and understanding the mechanisms by which these pathogens persist in the wound. Mechanical surgical debridement is the classic treatment for open wounds but must be combined with other important modalities such as antiseptic delivery with wound dressings, pressure relief, negative pressure wound therapy, and selective mechanical debridement with jet lavage irrigators. Important concepts include the application of these modalities in the context of the TIME and treatment step down approach. New technologies must perform in the context of cost, efficiency and efficacy. These will be reviewed.

Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and CVI. However, there is another condition which does not get much attention, obesity-induced lymphedema. Excessive weight can have a negative impact on the return of lymphatic fluid from the legs; additional fluid volumes associated with obesity may overwhelm an already impaired lymphatic system. Decongestive lymphatic therapy may ameliorate this disorder.

In far too many cases, the orders emanating from these primary healthcare providers are based on antiquated education and anecdotal evidence resulting in increased costs, poorer outcomes, a detrimental effect on staff confidence but most importantly prolongation of ineffectual care. In this program, Dr. Miller will review the spectrum of considerations on how to help your physicians modernize their care.

9:00 a.m. - 9:15 a.m. Break
9:15 a.m. - 9:20 a.m. Chairs Opening RemarksDr. Rachel Webb, Editor Journal of Wound Care
9:20 a.m. - 10:15 a.m. 400 Biofilm Management – Myths and RealityDr. Gregory Schultz, PhD Professor Obstetrics and Gynecology Director Institute for Wound Research University of Florida Wound healing is a complex biological process that progresses through a sequence of phases (hemostasis, inflammation, repair and remodeling) that are regulated primarily by cytokines, growth factors, proteases and extracellular matrix components. Chronic wounds do not progress through these phases, and typically become “stuck” in an inflammatory condition that is characterized by elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines and proteases, which impair healing by degrading extracellular matrix molecules, growth factors and receptors that are essential for wound cell migration, proliferation and scar formation. Recent evidence suggests that bacterial biofilms contribute to the chronic inflammation in a high percentage of chronic wounds. Bacteria in biofilm structures develop substantial tolerance to most antibiotics and antiseptics, which has led to the concept of biofilm-based wound care, which emphasizes starting with aggressive debridement techniques to remove biofilms combined with dressings that prevent reformation of biofilms. When biofilms and inflammation are adequately reduced, treatments can step-down to less aggressive options that simply maintain low inflammation and
bioburden (planktonic and biofilm bacteria) then step-up to advanced therapies (growth factors, cell and tissue products, skin grafts) that will actively accelerate healing.
By the end of the session participants will be able to:• Review the four sequential phases of normal wound healing and
recognize the beneficial effects of controlled inflammation and protease activities
• Establish the link between chronic inflammation caused by planktonic and biofilm bacteria and elevated proteases and reactive oxygen species that destroy proteins that are essential to healing (extracellular matrix, growth factors, receptors) leading to impaired healing
• Understand how biofilm bacteria develop high tolerance to most antibiotics, antiseptics and disinfectants
• Describe key principles of biofilm-based wound care that emphasize debriding biofilms and preventing reformation of biofilms as part of the step-down-step-up approach for effective therapies to treat biofilms and promote healing.

International Conference on Skin Integrity and Infection Prevention SessionsUnderstanding and Using Innovations: Effectively Managing Wounds and Preventing Infection
1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. 401 Hard-to-Heal Wounds Concensus: What This Means in Clinical PracticeDr. Leanne Atkin Vascular Nurse Specialist, Mid Yorks NHS Trust & Lecturer Practitioner, University of Huddersfield, UKHard to heal wounds are a challenge for the patient, the healthcare professional and healthcare systems. The incidence of hard to heal wounds is rising as the age of the population increases. Many factors influence a wounds ability to heal, however, ensuring the correct treatment at an early stage could prevent several hard to heal wounds. This session will introduce the new international consensus document on hard to heal wounds which aims to address some of the challenges faced when dealing with long term non-healing wounds.
By the end of the session participants will be able to:• To identify non healing wounds
• Understand the pathophysiology of non healing wounds
• Have greater awareness of the important of fundamental standard of care
• Be aware of when and how to use advanced and adjunctive therapies
• Understand the importance of managing patient related factors.
2:00 p.m - 2:15 p.m. Break
2:15 p.m - 3:15 p.m.402 Smart Materials for Wound Management and Infection PreventionDr. Mitch Sanders CEO, FireFly Innovations LLC CSO Alira Health Boston and WoundForce LLCIn vitro and clinical evidence suggest that bacterial biofilms delay the inflammatory phase of wound healing through the inactivation of important genes, microRNAs, and the hyperactivation of host and bacterial proteases. This imbalance leads to tissue destruction of essential extracellular matrix components, which in turn further delays all phases of the healing continuum. Most antimicrobials including silver are less effective at treating biofilms and there is a critical unmet need to develop new advance wound dressings that can destabilize the biofilm and restore healthy tissue. Our lab has been developing the next generation of advanced wound dressings using state-of-the-art approaches in 3D printing of biopolymers. Here we demonstrate the benefit of incorporating novel antimicrobials
into 3D printed fibers to enhance effectiveness at treating bacterial biofilms both in vivo and in vitro. The next generation 3D printed wound dressings will prevent wound infections, reduce odor management, and provide better patient outcomes for healing chronic wounds.
By the end of the session participants will:• Understand the concept of smart materials in wound
management and infection prevention
• Be able to describe the potential use of smart materials in managing wounds
• Understand the possibilities of 3D bespoke wound dressings.
3:15 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. Break
3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Sponsored Symposium
4:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. 403 Surgical Wound Dehiscence - Identification and ManagementProfessor Karen Ousey Professor of Skin Integrity & Director for the Institute of Skin Integrity and Infection Prevention University of Huddersfield, UKSurgical wound dehiscence (SWD) is a significant issue that affects large numbers of patients and is almost certainly under-reported. The impact of SWD can be considerable: increased mortality, delayed hospital discharge, readmission, further surgery, delayed adjuvant treatment, suboptimal aesthetic outcome and impaired psychosocial wellbeing. It is imperative to raise awareness of SWD and improve identification, prevention and management. Prevention of SWD comprises excellence in surgical practice, prevention of surgical site infection, reducing risk of healing impairment and use of strategies such as single-use negative pressure wound therapy in appropriate high-risk patients. Management also involves a holistic approach that includes amelioration of impediments to healing, optimising conditions in the wound bed and using appropriate treatment modalities to ultimately close the wound.
By the end of the session participants will be:• Aware of SWD
• Able to discuss holistic approaches to the identification, prevention and management of SWD
• Able to discuss SWD at risk tools
• Understand appropriate treatments to manage SWD
