Diabetic Foot Ulcer, Heel
FL-image revealed both cyan fluorescing bacteria which is indicative of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (arrows) and red fluorescing bacteria (circled) which guided swabbing for accurate microbiology results.
Anatomical Location:
Left Foot, Heel
Microbiology Results:
Curettage samples confirmed heavy growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and light growth of Staphylococcus aureus in this wound

Surgical Site Infection, Amputation
The clinician used the MolecuLight i:X in Fluorescence Imaging Mode to visualize bacterial contamination of a limb amputation in real-time. Red fluorescence indicates presence of bacteria at the surgical site. As a result, further wash-out was performed prior to closure.
Anatomical Location:
Leg
Microbiology Results:
Swabs confirmed E. coli and P. mirabilis

Surgical Site Infection, Abdomen
The clinician used the MolecuLight i:X in Fluorescence Imaging Mode to target cleaning to areas of red fluorescence (red indicates presence of bacteria) throughout wound healing of a patient’s abdominal surgery.

Diabetic Foot Ulcer
The clinician used the MolecuLight i:X to guide debridement of a heavy callus on a diabetic foot ulcer. As the wound is debrided, the MolecuLight i:X reveals a red fluorescent signal, indicating the presence of bacteria in the wound.

Venous Leg Ulcer, Obesity-associated Lymphedema – Part 1
By incorporating MolecuLight i:X into the cleaning protocol, the clinician was able to visualize moderate/heavy bacterial load (red fluorescence) in the creases and at the periphery of the wound in real-time to guide cleaning.
