Please feel free to submit a case presentation abstract (300 words or less, no photos or references to products or devices in the abstract submissions), that would be a 5–10-minute case presentation with accompanying up to 5 PowerPoint slides.

Case abstracts submission due date is January 1, 2025, 5:00 PM CST. The organizing committee will review each submitted case presentation and submitters will be notified by January 15, 2025, of a decision. Final PowerPoint presentations (5 slides maximum) are due by February 1, 2025. Accepted abstract presenters will receive complimentary registration to the Wound Ambassador Dinner.
