Program Overview
There is no doubt that advanced wound care dressings have been proven superior to traditional methods of wound management. Silver’s broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy in helping manage bioburden is also no longer disputed. There are a number of dressings available with different features and benefits.
In an article recently published in the International Wound Journal, Keith Cutting and other wound care experts discussed topical silver-impregnated dressings and the importance of the dressing technology. In this webcast, Mr. Cutting, the lead author, will discuss the key findings from this clinical review.
Phil Bowler is recognized internationally for his knowledge and work in wound microbiology, infection, and infection control. He has published widely, including articles in Clinical Microbiology Reviews, the International Journal of Dermatology, and the Annals of Medicine. He recently presented exciting new in vitro data on the antimicrobial activity of certain silver containing wound dressings at the SAWC/WHS Spring Conference. During this webcast, he will review the scientific findings from this research.
