Reducing Hospitalizations and Amputations While Improving Health Inequalities With Topical Wound Oxygen (TWO2) at Home Therapy
This workshop will provide a hands-on demonstration of AOTI’s unique multi-modality Topical Wound Oxygen (TWO2) therapy, an at-home therapy combining non-contact cyclical compression, a higher pressure delivery of oxygen, and humidification for an ideal wound healing environment. It will also review the extensive body of evidence (including RCT, RWE, and Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses) that demonstrates how TWO2 can sustainably heal wounds, providing patients with more ulcer free days and resulting in significantly fewer hospitalizations and amputations, thereby helping to address both access-to-care and health inequalities.
