Burn wound management
Burn wounds are a global public health problem and a leading cause of morbidity, including prolonged hospitalisation, disfigurement and disability – often accompanied by stigma and social rejection.1 Our aim is to help mitigate the complications associated with burn wounds.
Pressure injury prevention
Trusted to reduce the incidence of pressure injuries when used as part of a comprehensive prevention program, compared to standard care alone.1-3
Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears
Partial-thickness tears can have a lasting impact on pain and shoulder function. When used in isolated bioinductive repair, the REGENETEN◊ Bioinductive Implant leads to tendon healing without the need for sutured repair;1-4 offering patients a faster recovery and return to activity than sutured repairs.4,5
Chondral and osteochondral knee repair
Treat knee cartilage lesions and osteochondral defects in a single-stage procedure, even in the presence of mild to moderate osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence 0-3),1,2 with the porous, biocompatible CARTIHEAL◊ AGILI-C◊ Cartilage Repair Implant; shown to be clinically superior to the current surgical standard of care in level 1 clinical data.*1,2

Pressure ulcers remain a persistent and largely preventable challenge, affecting millions of patients and contributing to serious complications such as extended hospital stays and increased healthcare costs.1,2
At Smith+Nephew, we believe in early prevention and powerful treatment to improve outcomes and to reduce the burden of pressure ulcers.
Bony prominences like heels, the sacrum and elbows can be protected by the prophylactic use of silicone multi-layer dressings.3 ALLEVYN◊ LIFE Dressing helps protect at-risk individuals from the onset of pressure injuries 4,5* and significantly reduced the incidence of sacral pressure ulcers - by 71% in elderly patients with hip fracture.4**
The RENASYS◊ EDGE system delivers Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT). Treating complex pressure ulcers with advanced therapies like NPWT can help to achieve good clinical6-10 and patient11 outcomes while being cost-effective11++. NPWT has been shown to promote granulation tissue formation, protect the wound from the outside environment and promote moisture balance within the wound bed12-16.
Together, they enable a seamless, effective wound care journey.
Pressure Ulcer Busters - Breaking Down Barriers and Myths
EPUAP Symposium Recap: Myths Officially BUSTED!
We Did It!
Our Pressure Ulcer Busters symposium delivered game-changing insights that can transform how healthcare teams approach wound prevention and care. Here's what our expert speakers revealed:
Every day, clinicians like you make critical decisions in the prevention and management of pressure ulcers. But even with the best intentions, outdated beliefs and misconceptions can persist—impacting care outcomes.
Thank you to all of you who shared their insights and experiences to help us identify the most common myths surrounding pressure ulcer care.
Your voice is contributing to shaping better education and more effective clinical support.
