"Can there be gentle yet effective ways for slough removal? What does the evidence and experience say?"

Learning Objectives:
1. Describe the role of pure, stable hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in desloughing wounds through simple soaking techniques.
2. Explore the synergistic effects of combining pure, stable HOCl with advanced wound care technologies, such as negatively charged dressings.
3. Identify the mechanisms by which Urgoclean Ag, a negatively charged dressing, enhances the desloughing process, especially when used with Vashe or pure hypochlorous acid.
4. Engage with clinicians and scientists in an interactive session to gain insights into the application of these novel technologies in clinical practice.
5. Recognize the potential of integrating new technologies to improve wound care outcomes, with a focus on the synergy between HOCl and advanced dressings.
