autolytic, chemical, biosurgical, and mechanical techniques. Participants will gain<br />
knowledge about wound evaluation, the goals of debridement (when and why), limits,<br />
dangers, and related measures. Attendees will be able to practice sharp debridement and<br />

Biofilm<br />
This workshop will introduce and discuss the impact of biofilms in wounds and strengthen<br />
the knowledge of difficulties in diagnosis and treatment.<br />
About biofilms:<br />
The importance of the bacterial biofilm mode of growth is becoming increasingly well<br />
known as improved methods to study sessile bacteria have become available. Experimental<br />
evidence has accumulated over the years showing that biofilms tolerate the antimicrobial<br />
properties of the immune system, antiseptics, and antibiotics. In spite of many<br />
“smoking guns”, the question is still whether biofilms are important for wound healing.<br />
In this workshop, 3 of the most cited experts will present and discuss their take on wounds<br />
and biofilms.<br />
