Exposed & At Risk

New Frontiers in Treating Advanced Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Tackle one of wound care’s toughest challenges—diabetic foot ulcers with exposed structures. In this accredited activity with Dr. John Lantis will walk you through the latest trial data, grafting options, and clinical strategies to improve healing and reduce amputation risk. Designed for physicians, nurses, podiatrists, and wound care specialists, this session will equip you with practical, evidence-based information you can apply right away.

On-Demand Release Date: 8/1/2025
Expiration Date: 8/1/2026

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) with exposed structures—such as tendon, bone, or joint—pose a critical challenge in modern wound care. Join Dr. John C. Lantis II, Chief of Surgery at Mount Sinai West, for a cutting-edge, evidence-based webinar that explores the latest clinical strategies for improving outcomes in complex DFUs.

 

This one-hour accredited session reviews key trial data, compare biologic grafting options, and provide tools for personalized, outcomes-driven treatment planning. Whether you’re a physician, nurse, podiatrist, or wound care specialist, this webinar will empower you to act earlier, treat smarter, and help reduce healing time and amputation risk in vulnerable patient populations.
At the completion of this activity, learners should be able to:

  • Recognize advanced DFU presentations and assess their complexity more confidently in clinical practice.
  • Differentiate between biological grafting options and select the most appropriate intervention based on wound characteristics and patient comorbidities.
  • Apply evidence from recent randomized control trials to inform graft selection and expected healing outcomes.
  • Tailor treatment strategies by incorporating prognostics indicators to prioritize patients most likely to benefit from advanced therapies.
  • Improve healing rates and reduce complications through earlier and evidence-based interventions, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and reducing care costs.
