This Masterclass will introduce the concept of electrical stimulation therapy, delivered via the Accel-Heal device, to stimulate healing and relieve pain in hard-to-heal wounds. Key opinion leaders in wound care will demystify the concept of electrical stimulation, explaining its mode of action in an accessible way.
You will find out how this advanced therapy can be safely and effectively used as an interventional therapy, to promote healing and reduce pain in recalcitrant wounds.
The Masterclass will also explain how the device can be incorporated into existing care pathways.
