Podcasts about wound closure

The Cochrane Colorectal Group produces reviews across a wide range of conditions affecting the intestines. These were added to in March 2024 with a new review of different ways to close the skin when a person's stoma is reversed. We asked lead author, Shahab Hajibandeh from Health Education and Improvement Wales to tell us more and he used the ElevenLabs AI Voice Generator to record this podcast.

Joining Anthony for this episode of VETchat by The Webinar Vet are Jacob Adams, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Noxsano, and Mandy Wallace, Associate Professor of Small Animal Surgery at the University of Georgia. Noxsano's product Restore are smart wound dressings that supply nitric oxide, the key natural mediator in the healing process, in an easy-to-use veterinary wound dressing. In this episode, Jacob shares his background and reasoning for starting Noxsano, and Mandy shares her background as a Veterinarian and how she helps get involved with the company. They discuss the creation process of the product, such as noticing how closing chronic wounds had little help with healing and then finding a way to deliver nitric oxide to wounds. They cover how the product works, example cases, and what scenarios it is useful for. Anthony also enquires about the products use on horses, future studies for use on reptiles, and other products being added to the Noxsano line.

Some of our friends have discouraged us from speaking about the small possibility of a nuclear event in the unstable and uncertain future, but everyone should know about them, not panic, and understand that survival is possible in many cases. Dr. Joe Alton discusses different types of nuclear weapons and meltdowns, types of radiation, percentages and radius of damage, symptoms of radiation sickness, building shelters, treating the sick, and much more. Plus, a question about suture kits from a listener leads to a discussion of why and when to close wounds, and how to developing good judgment is more important than just learning how to throw a stitch. All this and more on the Survival Medicine Podcast!  Wishing you the best of health in good times or bad, Joe and Amy Alton Hey, check out our medical kits, books, individual supplies, and more at store.doomandbloom.net.

WoundZipper® is an innovative wound closure device, which incorporates magnets to effectively close wounds. Intended primarily for emergency department use, the device is designed by a board-certified emergency department physician, Dr. Moustafa H. Moustafa.WoundZipper® employs powerful, flexible magnets encased in a proprietary medical-grade coating, designed to adhere to each side of the wound using a hypoallergenic adhesive. The WoundZipper® can be employed to close wounds in a fraction of the time required usingconventional methods. Unlike sutures, staples, and steri strips, WoundZipper® achieves uniform closure along the entire wound to speed healing and reduce scarring. It takes less than a minute to apply, does not require local anesthetic, and is painless.As a new wound closure solution, WoundZipper® was on display IncubatED program at the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) conference at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington D.C. (Table #2807-i-8 in the IncubatED section). TheIncubatED program showcases incubator and/or early-stage healthcare products in the emergency department.What I have often witnessed in the emergency department is a couple with a small child who has a laceration that is bleeding, Dr. Moustafa said. The child is upset, the parents are upset, but because it's not life-threatening, staff do not consider it a high priority. This results in frustration for all involved. I designed WoundZipper® to offer an instant solution.”WoundZipper® makes the process of treating and healing a wound fast and effective and increases medical provider efficiency,” Moustafa said. The magnets are pre-aligned as part of the package unit. This provides instant wound approximation since the magnets are immediatelyattracted to each other as soon as the removable layer is taken away.” Faster than staples or sutures. Less traumatic for infants and children. No painful injection. Easy to inspect the wound and reclose. Perfect for high anxiety emergencies. No disposable accessories.The intellectual property associated with WoundZipper® is available for licensing.

Doc Handal takes to the air with an insightful podcast conversation about repairing your torn skin. Sutures, stitches with needle and thread, staples, and adhesive glue are all possibilities but require considerations. These are a few ways to get  'split' skin back together, if too messy for mother nature. Today in this podcast you'll learn details about sutures, staples (you may be already had a few), and adhesive glue to repair skin trauma.

Last week, the Altons discussed less invasive methods of wound closure off the grid  like steri-strips, butterfly closures, and medical or industrial glues. Those are great for minor injuries, but they aren’t solid enough to keep some wounds, say over a joint, closed. For that, you need staples or sutures. It's not hard to learn how to use these items, but how much do you know about the different types of suture materials available. What do you use internally and what do you use on the skin? Also, a discussion on water disinfection, especially by boiling and with filters. Ask a bunch of survivalists and you'll get a bunch of answers about how long to boil water and other important aspects of disinfection. What's the real deal? The Altons let you know current CDC and WHO recommendations and much more! All this and lots of other important information on the Survival Medicine Hour with Joe and Amy Alton, aka Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy.

Injuries occur in disaster and other off-grid settings, and some of those break the skin or even go into deeper layers, like subcutaneous fat and muscle. When do you close a wound and when is it wiser to keep it open? Also, if you're going to close it, what materials should you use and why? Joe Alton MD and Amy Alton ARNP, aka Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy, take you through the decision making process and much more in this episode devoted to wound closure in survival situations.   Follow Joe and Amy on Twitter @preppershow, plus their YouTube Channel at drbones nurseamy, and Facebook on their Doom and Bloom(tm) page!   Don't forget their store at store.doomandbloom.net for your medical supply needs!

Joe Alton MD and Amy Alton ARNP, aka Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy, discuss various methods of wound closure and when it's acceptable to close and when it's not. Less invasive methods like Steri-Strips and Glues are discussed as important ways to stretch the longevity of more high-tech items like sutures and staples. Also, the electromagnetic pulse caused by a North Korean nuclear weapon exploded high above, say, Kansas, can wreak havoc on the electrical grid and certain electronics, but we've done little as a nation to harden civilian infrastructure against EMP attacks. Find out about what used to be thought as a very low likelihood event, but more possible, it seems, by the day as the sabers keep rattling. Lastly, using all the tools in the medical woodshed includes knowing the herbs in your own backyard that might have medicinal benefits. Dr. Alton thinks that herbal teas will be the easiest way for the medic to take advantage of nature's bounty in a long-term disaster where the medicines have all run out. Here are some of his and Amy's favorite teas (actually more accurately called "herbal infusions").
