This webinar provides participants with current information on strategies to facilitate the healing of difficult equine wounds. Presenters discuss the use of negative pressure, amnion tissue, and skin grafts to treat complicated equine wounds. Participants learn to identify when each of these techniques is best utilized and gain knowledge of practical strategies to incorporate these techniques in their own surgical practices.
