On 10 June 2025, FV Hospital, in collaboration with URGO Medical – a global leader in wound care solutions – hosted a specialised training session titled “Innovation in Wound Care”, designed for both Inpatient (IPD) and Outpatient (OPD) nursing teams.

The session was opened by Dr Serge Bohbot, Global Medical Affairs Director at URGO Medical, who presented new innovations in wound management, with a focus on the TLC-Matrix technology. This next-generation dressing promotes faster healing by forming a protective barrier between the wound and the dressing material, while maintaining an optimal moisture environment for up to seven days.

Dr Serge Bohbot introduced advanced wound care innovations aimed at improving patient outcomes.

Dr Bohbot emphasised, “The remarkable feature of TLC-Matrix technology is its non-adherent property, which significantly reduces pain and bleeding – two of the most distressing symptoms for patients with open wounds.” He also introduced a range of other advanced dressing technologies, including TLC Ag, TLC-Ag-fiber, among others, which have transformed modern wound care. These innovations offer new hope and an improved quality of life for patients suffering from chronic and rare wounds, such as those caused by Epidermolysis Bullosa.

The training session drew strong interest and active engagement from a large number of FV Hospital nurses.

According to FV Hospital’s Nursing Office, URGO’s advanced wound care products are now routinely used in clinical practice across the hospital. Training sessions such as this enhance nurses’ understanding of different wound types, enabling them to choose the most appropriate dressing solutions. Such training directly contributes to optimising wound care protocols and supporting faster healing for patients.

This approach closely aligns with the insightful and practical presentation delivered by Specialist Level II Dr Vu Huu Thinh, Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeon from the University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City. Dr Thinh emphasised the importance of standardised wound care protocols, continuous monitoring, prevention strategies, and high-quality nursing interventions in minimising patient risk, reducing the burden on hospital resources, lowering treatment costs, and easing broader pressures on the healthcare system.

Dr Thinh emphasised that a clear understanding of wound classification is essential in improving patient treatment outcomes.

“Comprehensive knowledge and proper training in wound classification are crucial,” Dr Thinh emphasised. “Accurate assessment leads to appropriate treatment choices, which in turn benefits the patient significantly.” He also highlighted the value of multidisciplinary collaboration, between nurses, doctors, and supported by high-quality medical supplies, as key to achieving the best outcomes for surgical patients.

Through this focused training session, FV’s nursing team gained up-to-date medical knowledge and further strengthened their multidisciplinary coordination skills. This represents a meaningful step in FV Hospital’s ongoing efforts to enhance patient care within an international-standard medical environment, one built on evidence-based practice, professional expertise, and compassionate care.
