The unique characteristics of advanced biologics, offer promising therapies for wound care and soft tissue healing. However, the roles of advanced therapies within the wound care armamentarium and the timing of when to use them can be challenging to determine. This session, will offer interdisciplinary perspectives on decision making and will provide an algorithmic approach for employing the use of allografts on various wound types across practice settings. Explore, real-world clinical case studies illustrating the use of allografts on various wound types across practice settings.

Supported by an educational grant from MTF Biologics.

A maximum of 1 additional CME/CPME/CE-credit hour is offered through this Industry Supported Symposium. This event is not part of the official SAWC meeting programming and provides separate continuing education credits.
