SAWC Spring 2026 Recap

Rooted in Innovation, Focused on What’s Next in Wound Care

Last week, the Venture Medical team had the opportunity to connect with hundreds of clinicians, partners, and wound care providers who stopped by our booth at SAWC Spring 2026 in Charlotte, NC.

Whether you stopped in for a coffee or were just walking by browsing, what stood out most wasn’t just the attendance or the energy in the exhibit hall. It was the tone of the conversations. Providers were asking deeper questions, discussing more complex environments, and looking for solutions that supported not just products, but entire practice workflows.

That shift shaped what we chose to share at our booth.

Supporting the Reality of Wound Care Today

Across the three days of conversations, one theme came up repeatedly: providers, and especially mobile wound care providers, need partners who understood how wound care practice operate. Our booth stood out because we focused on solutions that reflect that reality, including:

  • Aurix, supporting chronic wound healing with strong clinical evidence and clear National Coverage       Determination-based reimbursement
  • UltraMIST, expanding non-contact therapy options across care settings
  • Foot Defender, helping address offloading challenges that providers manage every day

We emphasized that these were not standalone tools, but part of a broader approach to supporting clinicians as they deliver consistent care outside traditional clinic walls. At the show, that distinction resonated more than ever.

A Preview of What Was Ahead

During exhibit hours, and again during our Rooted in Innovationcocktail gathering at Fahrenheit Charlotte, we introduced an early look at what is coming next inside Venture OneView.

Providers told us they want:

  • better visibility across orders
  • fewer documentation friction points
  • clearer coordination between clinical decisions and operational steps
  • systems that adapted to how wound practices function in a real-world setting

The V1V enhancements we shared were designed with exactly those needs in mind. The goal isn’t complexity. It is clarity.

The addition of our AI note-checking tools inside Venture OneView represents a meaningful step forward in supporting wound care providers where documentation, coverage and workflow intersect.

The tool is designed to review clinical notes in real time, helping providers identify missing elements, inconsistencies, or opportunities for stronger alignment with coverage expectations before submission, so they could spend less time second-guessing documentation and more time focusing on patient care.

The Conversations That Mattered Most

One of the most valuable parts of SAWC wasn’t what happened in the sessions. It was what happened in the aisles.

This year, we heard providers talk about:

  • navigating reimbursement uncertainty
  • scaling responsibly
  • integrating advanced therapies without adding administrative burden
  • building sustainable wound care programs that could grow with demand

Those are the conversations we want to keep having, because the future of wound care isn’t just about access to products. It is about the support structure behind them.

Thank You for Stopping By

If you visited with the Venture Medical Team in Charlotte, THANK YOU. Whether we spoke for two minutes or twenty, we appreciated the chance to connect.

If we didn’t have the opportunity to meet during the conference, we would welcome the chance to have a conversation.

We’re looking forward to what comes next for the industry, for mobile providers, and for the partnerships that make this work possible.
