This editorial summarizes a Leaders in Wound Healing conference held in New Orleans in May 2021, where moderated expert panels discussed five topics: designing improved cellular and/or tissue-based products (CTPs), treating biofilms, topical oxygen therapy, measuring perfusion and oxygenation, and comparative effectiveness and combination trials. Points reported from the sessions include the importance of wound bed preparation before applying CTPs, a stepwise approach to biofilm called the six Ds (diagnose, debride, douse, deconstruct, destroy, defend), and the need for more government funding for comparative clinical trials, with few if any sequential treatment trials under way.
