Interactive Reconstructive Masterclass: Getting the Best Patient Outcomes
Summary: This free, 90-minute interactive webinar, hosted by Wound Masterclass and supported by Integra Tissue Technologies, dives into advanced reconstructive strategies for lower limb wounds, including trauma, chronic ulcers, and surgical defects. Chaired by Dr. Negin Shamsian with global experts Dr. Jonathan Johnson and Dr. Marino Ciliberti, the session covers preoperative assessment, wound bed preparation, application of skin substitutes and UBM extracellular matrix scaffolds, postoperative care, and complication management. Through an interactive patient clinic and evidence-based discussions, participants gain practical tools to integrate these techniques for faster healing, reduced scarring, and improved functional outcomes. Accredited for EBAC credits (convertible to AMA PRA Category 1).
Key Highlights:
- Focus on indications for reconstructive options like skin grafting, muscle flaps, and UBM scaffolds in particulate/sheet forms for complex lower limb wounds.
- Preoperative planning emphasizes patient selection, vascularity assessment, infection control, and tailoring products to wound profiles (size, depth, location).
- Surgical techniques include debridement, scaffold application with flaps/grafts/NPWT, and postoperative dressing protocols to optimize granulation and closure.
- Interactive patient clinic demonstrates hands-on treatment planning and real-world implementation of UBM scaffolds in trauma and chronic cases.
- Panel Q&A addresses complications like infection/seroma, non-healing strategies, and evidence from literature on scaffold efficacy for better outcomes.
