Listen: Cutting surgical site infections with advanced wound tech

In this episode of the Health Tech World Podcast, we sit down with orthopedic surgeon Dr Ravi Bashyal to explore one of the most overlooked drivers of surgical outcomes: wound management.

Dr Bashyal explains why infections after joint replacement can dramatically change recovery paths and how newer approaches like single-use negative pressure wound therapy are reshaping prevention strategies.
