Wound area measurement of clinician traced wound border

 


Due to this patient’s irregular wound borders, standard wound ruler measurements overestimated the wound area by more than 2-fold (36 cm2 with a wound ruler vs. 15.85 cm2 with the MolecuLight i:X Wound Measurement functionality).

Clinician Testimonial

“The measurement feature will be incredibly helpful in tracking irregular wound borders such as this. For this patient, my ruler measurement is an overestimate. It cannot accurately track border changes over time.”
