ProblemOutpatient wound clinics lose hours rebuilding each graft-ready case from chart fragments, photos, ABI results, and four-week failure evidence before a skin substitute can be scheduled. CMS WISeR and payer-specific DFU/VLU rules make one missing field enough to stall treatment and billing.
GraftDesk: wound-graft readiness board for outpatient wound clinics
Idea Overview
TLDR
01
02
SolutionGraftDesk is a clinic-side rescue board that turns every pending skin-substitute case into explicit blockers: missing offloading proof, weak ulcer measurements, wrong product, absent toe pressure, expired photos, or no documented failed standard care. Staff clear the queue before the procedure day collapses.

Market opportunityGrand View Research valued the U.S. wound care market at $8.63B in 2023, while CMS added WISeR pressure in 2026 and payers like UnitedHealthcare and Anthem keep tightening criteria. A narrow $1.5k-$3k monthly workflow product can sit beside incumbent EHRs without replacing them.
