Wound Care UnWRapped with Kirsi Isoherrenan
In this episode of Wound Care UnWRapped, Hayley sits down with Kirsi Isoherranen, MD, PhD, and specialist in dermatology and allergology, currently serving as the Head Physician at the Wound Healing Centre of Helsinki University Hospital.
Together, they unpack the clinical clues that should make clinicians stop and reassess, the importance of biopsy and differential diagnosis, and why conditions such as pyoderma gangrenosum, malignant wounds and Martorell ulcers can be mistaken for more common wound types. Kirsi also shares practical approaches to assessment and discusses why lower limb oedema and compression need greater attention in wound management.
From diagnostic blind spots and multidisciplinary care to emerging technologies and the future of wound diagnostics, this episode challenges clinicians to look beyond the wound itself and ask a critical question: is this wound behaving like it should?
This podcast is designed to inform and inspire discussion. It should never replace individual patient assessment, professional judgement or current evidence-based practice.
Wound Care UnWRapped is a podcast by Hayley Ryan, nationally recognised Clinical Nurse Consultant and the Founder and Director of WoundRescue. The podcast peels back the layers of wound care and addresses the questions that too often go unspoken. Hayley brings together a diverse range of voices from across the field (clinicians, researchers, educators, industry leaders, innovators and policy makers) who share their expertise, experiences and perspectives. The goal is to uncover what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change.
