Case Study Submission Card (PDF)

Rules

One case will be selected per quarter. The author will attend and present the case at a national conference of their choice in the continental United States. Selected presenters will receive flight, hotel accommodation costs and a $500 stipend to cover other expenses.

Case studies are limited to the use of the VERSAJET^◊ Hydrosurgery System. The VERSAJET^◊ Hydrosurgery System is intended for wound debridement (acute and chronic wounds, burns), soft tissue debridement, and cleansing of the surgical site in applications that, in the physician's judgment, require sharp debridement and pulsed lavaged irrigation.

Case Studies will be judged by surgeons on the International Advisory Board on Surgical Wound Management. To be eligible for judging, case studies must be able to meet standard guidelines set by conference(s) for acceptable poster submissions. The Advisory Board will be looking for complete reports with supporting evidence (pictures) highlighting effective application of the VERSAJET^◊ system (in any surgical specialty).

The author of any case selected must be available for presenting at the conference chosen and be willing to attend conference sessions.

The authors of all cases must follow the template.

All submissions become the property of Smith & Nephew. Smith & Nephew reserves the right to publish and reprint all submitted case studies.All clinicians must adhere to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) rules and regulations relating to patient privacy and must ensure all information submitted can be published and reprinted without breach of privacy under HIPAA.

Full-face photographic images and comparable images must not be included, nor should anyone over the age of 89.

Entries are due by the end of each quarter. Authors of selected papers will be notified within 2 months of each deadline.

Electronic entries are preferred with high-resolution digital photos. Please title emails "VERSAJET^◊ Case Study."

Entries should be submitted via e-mail to smithnephewcontest@smith-nephew.com or they should be mailed.
