Dear Sirs and Madams,

Negative-pressure wound therapy is expanding – and this is a fact.

It is expanding ‘lengthwise’, with a rising number of applications for negative-pressure dressings and an increasing number of centers and professionals utilizing it. But it is also expanding ‘across’, broadening its scope to include new indications, introducing dozens of innovative solutions, and generating hundreds of modifications.

This is why in the upcoming edition of the conference, we will take a ‘problem-oriented’ approach, focusing on the most common types of wounds and offering a comprehensive perspective on their treatment − naturally, by harnessing all the potential of negative-pressure therapy and its many adaptations. After all, this is where the true strength of the method lies. The number of possible solutions is vast, much like in the game of ‘GO’. And just as in this game, choosing the right solution requires experience.

Let us gain that experience together. The conference will be the perfect opportunity for this.

We warmly invite you to join us in Poznań!
