Would you like to learn more about the #Aetiology and #biomechanics of #pressureulcers ? Join us in Rome for the EPUAP Masterclass and listen to Professor Amit Gefen!
Special attention will be given to the effects of sustained #softtissue deformations.

In August's editorial, Amit Gefen discusses the role of shear in the biomechanical model of skin tolerance to superficial PUs/PIs, which provides insight into the increased vulnerability in darker skin tones. magonlinelibrary.com/doi/full/10.12…

In this newly published #Editorial in the Journal of Wound Care I summarized my talk on #skin #biomechanics & #diversity in skin properties in the aspect of #ethnicity which was delivered at NPIAP recent conference in San Diego USA (March 17–18, 2023):

Visual skin assessments for #PressureUlcer prevention MUST be replaced by technology-aided ( #MachineVision ) monitoring of #skin conditions to improve #PatientSafety and #ClinicalOutcomes - our latest International Wound Journal #article proves that ( #OpenAccess : lnkd.in/dYPGD5tg)!

Proud of our (Gefen Lab) new International Wound Journal #article (lnkd.in/dYPGD5tg) which compares physiological #skin measurements to assess the most sensitive approach for determining a #prophylactic effect of a #wound #dressing in #PressureUlcer #prevention using PolyMem example

Open call for the Special Issue in the Journal of Clinical Biomechanics (Elsevier, editor-in-chief Amit Gefen), which is an outcome of the workshop in Lorentz Center in May this year:  lnkd.in/e_-yNf7s

The deadline for the submission is 30 June 2024.

An honor to deliver the Perspective #Skin #Biomechanics Talk at the ESB Conference sharing our experience in supporting global efforts to protect patients from #PressureUlcers during the #COVID19 pandemic through #bioengineering #efficacy #research of #WoundCare technologies

“I would like to position the Journal of Wound Management in the frontier of the bioengineering research that is published in wound care”.

I would like to express my gratitude to the co-authors Paulo Alves, Breda Cullen, Amit Gefen, José Luis Lázaro Martínez, Hadar Lev-Tov, Bijan Najafi, Nick Santamaria, Andrew Sharpe, Terry Swanson, Kevin Woo, Dimitri Beeckman, for their dedication and valuable contributions

Feeling very privileged to listen to the amazing Zena Moore at the #WiserWoundCare symposium on one of my favourite topics #pressureinjuries
Zena is sharing Amit Gefen's work that has revolutionized the way we think about how pressure injuries develop

Are all #wound #dressings performing as they should and for all patients? Some points for thought in our EWMA #Conference Session in #Milan dedicated to how dressings are currently being evaluated in #laboratory #testing .

What can #bioengineering achieve for patients who need #WoundCare ?

Join us at the EWMA Conference in #Milan for a session dedicated to how #wound #dressings should be evaluated in #laboratory #testing so that the results are clinically relevant.

We have just published a landmark #OpenAccess #article describing, for the first time in the literature, the deep tissue effects of an alternating pressure support surface in the context of #PressureUlcer ( #PressureInjury ) prevention:
