Welcome to WoundCasters, a podcast from Wound Care Today USA, where we go beyond the basics of wound management. Hosted by Dr. Felix Boecker, each episode features in-depth conversations with leading clinicians, scientists, and innovators to uncover the science, technology, and best practices driving better wound outcomes. From cutting-edge products and clinical research to ethical challenges and real-world case insights, WoundCasters delivers fresh, practical knowledge for every wound care professional.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has an established role in treating certain complex wounds, but knowing when to use it—and when not to—is essential.
In this episode of WoundCasters, Dr. Felix Boecker explores the science behind HBOT, its evidence-supported applications, and the challenges surrounding its use in modern wound care.
From diabetic foot ulcers and compromised grafts to radiation injuries and severe infections, Dr. Boecker examines where HBOT can make a meaningful difference. He also addresses the practical realities of treatment, including cost, accessibility, patient commitment, and the barriers that prevent appropriate referrals.
Why do some patients who could benefit from HBOT never receive it, while others undergo treatments with limited evidence of effectiveness?
Join us as we explore the importance of evidence-based patient selection, timely referrals, and finding the right balance between underutilization and overuse.

Ep.32 Why Innovations in Wound Care Fails
In this episode of WoundCasters, Dr. Felix Boecker sits down with Rafael Mazuz to explore the intersection of innovation, technology, and real-world application in wound care. The conversation highlights how emerging solutions are developed, refined, and ultimately brought into clinical environments—bridging the gap between concept and patient impact.They discuss the challenges of introducing new technologies into a complex healthcare system, from proving clinical value to navigating adoption among providers. Rafael shares insights into what it takes to move beyond promising ideas and deliver solutions that are both practical and scalable in everyday care settings.At its core, this episode reflects on the broader evolution of wound care—where innovation must align with usability, outcomes, and system realities. A thoughtful look at how new approaches can shape the future of care when grounded in both science and practicality.

Ep.30 Raw Honey vs Medical Grade Honey
In this episode of WoundCasters, Dr. Felix Boecker tackles a common misconception in wound care: if honey is beneficial, does it matter which kind you use? Exploring both historical use and modern research, he breaks down why honey has resurfaced as a potential therapeutic tool—and the science behind its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties.
The conversation then draws a critical distinction between raw, store-bought honey and medical-grade honey products. From sterilization and standardization to regulatory oversight and clinical evidence, Dr. Boecker explains why these are not interchangeable—and how using the wrong type can range from ineffective to potentially harmful.
This episode also offers practical guidance for clinicians and patients alike, including when medical-grade honey may be appropriate, how it fits into comprehensive wound care, and how to address patients who are using or considering raw honey at home. A clear, evidence-based look at where honey belongs—and where it doesn’t—in modern wound management.
