Problem wounds: how to maintain a fucntional and shoeable foot?

Negative pressure therapy to a positive, healthy environment in diabetic foot wounds. The increased knowledge in the approach to diabetic foot wound has allowed the availability of several medical options to ensure the best local condition and wound healing. Among these, negative pressure wound therapy is a useful adjunct in the management of chronic and complex wounds to promote healing and wound bed preparation, in combination with offloading and other therapies as the need for antibiotics, for a vascular intervention, denridement,…

Negative pressure therapy to a positive, healthy environment in diabetic foot wounds
The efficacy of NPWT in promoting diabetic wound healing has been largely accepted. In this workshop we will evaluate through case reports and evidence based literature the effect of negative pressure wound therapy on diabetic foot wounds, especially for prevention or reduction of minor and major amputations, and for infection therapy. We emphasize on tips and tricks, points of attention and pitfalls.

Diabetic foot infections
Infections compromise both disease course and outcome of wound and foot problems in patients with diabetes. During this workshop, we explain recently published guidelines (IWGDF 2019, ADA 2019, IDF 2017, ACCP 2016) in translation to clinical practice in Belgian diabetic foot clinics. Topics include diagnostics, estimation of severity and scope, treatment, specific wound dressings and quality of life. We will demonstrate new technologies in a hands-on session. We count on your presence, but especially welcome your active interaction.
Organized by: Dr. Michel Vandenbroucke, diabetologist from the Diabetic Foot Clinic AZ Sint-Maarten

Benefits of systematic photo archiving of diabetic foot wounds 
In most diabetic foot centers, digital photographs of diabetic foot ulcers are sporadically for archiving purposes. Objective assessment of wound healing is indeed greatly improved when pictures taken over different time intervals can be compared against each other. However, the benefit of taking pictures systematically (on each and every visit) may be more far-reaching than some realize. In this workshop, we argue that recorded pictures are great to assess a trend in wound healing, but also function as a patient motivational tool, a diagnostic tool, a safeguard against litigation, a repository for AI training, a communication tool. We also share some tips on optimal technology, workflow and ergonomics.
