Effectiveness of an Antibiotic Against MRSA Case Study

June 4, 2018 -Clinical Synopsis

Patient Condition: 50 year old male patient with a venous leg ulcer ( >1 year) on left medial ankle. Wound presented with heavy drainage and a MRSA infection that had persisted over many months of care, despite numerous antibiotics and antimicrobials. Patient’s wound received regular cleaning and debridement

Optimizing Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Treatment Case Study

March 28, 2018 -Clinician used MolecuLight i:X to confirm the presence and location of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a venous leg ulcer. As seen in Figure 3, the white/cyan color suggests heavy levels of Pseudomonas aeruginosa pre-debridement (the white/cyan color is due to signal oversaturation), which would otherwise be invisible to the unaided eye. The clinician uses this information to guide debridement of bioburdened tissue and re-imaged the wound post-debridement. Figure 4 indicates a reduction in bioburden post-debridement, but not the eradication of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

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
