Prospective clinical evaluation of fluorescence imaging in positively predicting the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in chronic wounds

June 1, 2018 -ABSTRACT Aim:

Real-time, point-of-care detection of critical bacterial colonization relies primarily on subjective visual inspection and clinical signs and symptoms. When wounds are illuminated by violet light, most pathogenic bacterial species emit a unique red fluorescence signal due to the production of endogenous porphyrins, while Pseudomonas aeruginosa uniquely emits

Wound Healing Cost Savings with MolecuLight i:X Case Study

May 14, 2018 -Clinical Synopsis

Patient Condition: 47 year old male required an above knee amputation following a traumatic burn injury. Patient reported severe pain and developed an abscess ~6 weeks post-amputation.

Patient required a right, above knee amputation after severe burns. The stump later became infected, therefore was evacuated, washed out and

Point of care autofluorescence imaging for real-time sampling and treatment guidance of bioburden in chronic wounds: first-in-human results

March 19, 2015 -ABSTRACT Background:

Traditionally, chronic wound infection is diagnosed by visual inspection under white light and microbiological sampling, which are subjective and suboptimal, respectively, thereby delaying diagnosis and treatment. To address this, we developed a novel handheld, fluorescence imaging device (PRODIGI) that enables non-contact, real-time, high-resolution visualization and differentiation of key
