SAWC Fall. 2025 Recap

SAWC Fall 2025: A Memorable Week in Las Vegas

This year’s SAWC Fall Conference in Las Vegas, NV was an incredible experience for the Venture Medical team as we joined our valued manufacturing partners at BioStem Technologies to showcase our commitment to advancing wound care.

Event Highlights

We hosted two standout events during the week:

  • Speakeasy Networking Event – A chance for providers and colleagues across the industry to connect in a fun, relaxed environment.
  • Breakfast Symposium – An engaging session where wound care leaders shared insights on real-world experiences, differences in skin substitutes, and practice flow optimization.

Both events allowed us to build stronger relationships, spark important conversations, and share knowledge that drives the future of wound care.

Making Our Voices Heard

This year, we also introduced kiosks at our booth that made it easy for attendees to contact their legislators about the upcoming changes to the Proposed Physician Fee Schedule. We’re proud to share that dozens of individuals took action right at SAWC, amplifying the voice of the wound care community and advocating for policies that protect patients and providers alike. You can write to your local and federal legislators too by clicking the link here!

Thank You to the Wound Care Community

A special thank you goes out to everyone who visited our booth, connected with our team, and learned more about our products and initiatives. Your engagement and support continue to inspire us to push the boundaries of innovation in wound care.

We look forward to continuing these conversations and seeing you at future events.

The Case For Mobile Wound Care: An Essential Component Of Chronic Wound Management

Mobile wound care is a critical yet often misunderstood part of chronic wound management, providing advanced treatment to patients who can't easily access traditional care. Far from being a fringe service, it’s a large and growing field—with nearly 30,000 clinicians billing for mobile wound services in 2023 alone—and plays a key role in addressing the rising burden of chronic wounds, especially in nursing homes. As wound severity increases, staffing shortages persist, and the population ages, mobile providers are filling care gaps through high-volume, high-quality services and innovative tools like AI-assisted telehealth and near-infrared spectroscopy. To ensure better outcomes and lower healthcare costs, policymakers and payers must recognize mobile wound care as an essential, professional solution—not a peripheral one.
