Complex wounds don't heal on a schedule — and traditional hospital-based care models often fall short once patients go home.
In this session, Erich Lemker, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, Calif., shares how a new approach to negative pressure wound therapy is helping patients stay active, heal faster and avoid complications post-discharge.
He'll spotlight real patient stories and lessons from the field with a focus on recovery, quality of life and how portable therapy systems can empower healing in post-acute settings.
Key takeaways:
- How portable therapy supports recovery outside the hospital
- Strategies to reduce complications and improve healing speed
- Real examples of simplified wound care that fits patients' daily lives
