The 2025 IWII guidelines mark a major shift in wound care, defining therapeutic skin and wound cleansing as the foundation of wound bed preparation. But with only one wound, ostomy, continence nurse for every 250 patient beds and 75% of wound, ostomy, continence nurses reporting their orders aren’t followed, consistent wound bed preparation remains a major challenge.

This webinar is a call to action - focused on turning evidence into impactful, bedside solutions that drive healing, reduce infection, and improve patient outcomes.

Key Takeaways:
- Why Therapeutic Cleansing Matters: It's more than a task—it's a clinical intervention that drives healing and infection control.
- The Role of pH and Therapeutic Index: Understand how these critical factors guide effective solution selection.
- From Guidelines to Bedside: Practical strategies to implement the IWII recommendations across clinical settings.
- Driving Adherence and Change: How to improve compliance, streamline protocols, and empower the full care team.

Join us to lead the change, and ensure no wound is left behind.
