The Role of Autoflorescence Imaging Device in the Evaluation of Bacteria Burden Control

Janowska, A et al. Int J Low Extrem W 2022

MolecuLight imaging showed zinc oxide bandages significantly reduced perilesional bacterial load in VLUs more than short stretch bandages, without differing in pain relief.
