Research has driven significant advances in wound care and, subsequently, the development of advanced wound care products. Although marketed to promote wound healing, advanced wound care products can provide comfort to our palliative and hospice patients. This webinar will review strategies for selecting and using advanced wound care products to manage common wound symptoms and improve quality of life in the palliative care and hospice population.
