July 9, 2018 -ABSTRACT Background:
Mechanisms for military injury have evolved in the past century. Debridement is the gold standard for preparing a clean wound bed, decreasing the bacterial load, and reducing the likelihood of infection. However, bacteria may continue to linger in these wounds. The MolecuLight i:X Imaging Device uses the

June 1, 2018 -ABSTRACT Aim:
Current gold standard technique for tissue management in DFUs is regular sharp debridement to reduce bioburden, as this optimizes effectiveness of antimicrobials and stimulates wound healing.1 However, the extent of debridement required to reduce bioburden based on visual inspection is unclear. Fluorescence imaging has recently been used

Patient Condition: 57 year old male patient delayed seeking treatment for a diabetic foot ulcer on his left toe for more than 2 months. Some challenges with this wound included rapid callus build-up, improper footwear, delayed treatment, and a lack of offloading.
This patient treated their diabetic foot ulcer with an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment for
