In November 2023, Lavior presented two scientific posters at the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care Fall meeting (SAWC Fall) in Las Vegas, together with Dr. Imaze Marian Davis, DPM and Dr. Dmitry Sandler, DPM. The meeting ran from November 2 to 5, 2023, and brought together clinicians and researchers from across the wound care field.
This post recaps that company news and explains what the SAWC meeting is.
What did Lavior present at SAWC Fall 2023?
Lavior presented two scientific posters together with Dr. Imaze Marian Davis, DPM and Dr. Dmitry Sandler, DPM. The posters shared case outcomes from patients with multiple health conditions and open wounds that had not responded to conventional care. The cases described the use of Lavior's diabetic wound care products as part of each patient's overall treatment.
Case presentations describe individual patients and are not the same as controlled clinical trials, so results should not be read as typical for every wound. Hard-to-heal wounds always need assessment and ongoing care from a wound care specialist.
What is SAWC Fall?
SAWC Fall is the fall meeting of the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care, a conference dedicated to wound care education and better patient outcomes. It brings together the professionals who treat and research wounds to share knowledge and new approaches.
Attendees typically include:
- Physicians and podiatrists
- Nurses and wound care specialists
- Physical therapists
- Researchers and scientists
- Dietitians
That mix reflects how wound care, especially for people with diabetes, usually involves a team. If you are wondering what that team approach looks like in practice, see what to expect at a wound care clinic visit.
Why do some diabetic wounds not respond to standard care?
People with diabetes often have several conditions at once, such as poor circulation, neuropathy and a weaker immune response, and together these can slow healing. Pressure on the foot, infection and high blood sugar can all keep a wound from closing.
Our article on why diabetic wounds won't heal explains these factors in more detail.
Who founded Lavior?
Lavior was founded by Gilad and Anabelle Savion, who assembled a team of scientists, medical professionals and advisors to develop skin and wound care products for people with diabetes and sensitive skin.
Lavior's formulas are built around Inula AGS-RIED, its proprietary extract of Inula viscosa, a flowering plant native to the Mediterranean with a long history in traditional herbal practice. Learn more in what Inula viscosa is. Later that same month, Lavior also launched at Walmart.
How Lavior's Diabetic Wound Hydrogel fits in
Lavior™ Diabetic Wound Hydrogel helps maintain a moist wound environment when used for the indications described on its label. Follow the product instructions and your healthcare professional's wound care plan. Like every Lavior formula, it is built around Inula AGS-RIED, Lavior's proprietary extract of the Mediterranean plant Inula viscosa.
