Description
Wound management requires flexibility across a wide range of clinical presentations, from routine cases to those complicated by tissue loss, tension, or underlying structures. This webinar will present a structured approach to navigating that spectrum, with a focus on practical decision making across the wound healing pathway.
Through case-based discussion, we will review how fish skin grafts can be incorporated into different stages of care, from straightforward applications to more demanding clinical scenarios, including use in proximity to exposed or critical structures. The session will highlight principles of application, moisture management, and dressing selection to support appropriate use across varying wound types.
Designed for veterinary clinicians, this program aims to broaden understanding of how biologically active grafts may be used to support coverage, progression, and overall wound management strategy in everyday practice.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the key principles that guide decision making across the wound healing pathway, including factors that influence progression from open management to coverage and closure.
- Identify appropriate indications for the use of fish skin grafts across a range of wound types, from routine applications to more complex clinical scenarios.
- Explain practical approaches to graft application and moisture management, including dressing selection and techniques to support graft integration.
- Evaluate considerations for the use of biologic grafts in challenging environments, including the muscular skeletal system.
- Apply a structured clinical framework to select and incorporate biologic grafts into wound management strategies to support consistent and effective patient care.
