dvm360 podcast spotlights evidence-based wound therapy pathways

dvm360’s Vet Blast Podcast released a new episode on May 28, 2026, focused on “Strategic advancements in wound therapy: Evidence-based pathways,” featuring surgeon Justin Ganjei, DVM, DACVS-SA, Kelly Sovey, DVM, CVA, and host Adam Christman, DVM, MBA. The discussion centered on practical wound-management decisions in veterinary medicine, with an emphasis on preserving vascular supply, recognizing when primary closure is likely to fail, using negative pressure wound therapy appropriately, and matching treatment to the wound’s healing stage. The episode also highlighted the role of veterinary technicians and the importance of pet parent compliance in at-home care. (dvm360.com)

Why it matters: For veterinary professionals, the takeaway is less about a single new product and more about disciplined wound-bed assessment and case selection. Ganjei argued that vascular preservation is the key determinant of wound resolution, while broader wound-care references continue to support early stabilization, debridement, moisture-balanced dressings, and clear discharge instructions as core elements of successful management. Negative pressure wound therapy remains an important adjunct in selected cases, particularly when clinicians need exudate control, improved wound-bed conditions, or support after debridement or reconstruction, but it still depends on staffing, monitoring, and client follow-through.

What to watch: Expect more discussion at Fetch and across CE channels about how advanced wound modalities can move from referral settings into everyday practice without losing the evidence-based basics that drive healing. (dvm360.com)
