Wound Hygiene & Debridement, Venous Wounds

Unveiling the relationship between pain and bacterial load in venous ulcers with implications in targeted treatment

Oropallo A. et al. JVS-VL 2025

Targeted removal of bacterial fluorescence using MolecuLight significantly reduced patient-reported pain.

Validation, Venous Wounds

Real-time bacterial fluorescence imaging accurately identifies wounds with moderate-to-heavy bacterial burden

Serena, TE et al. J Wound Care 2019

This pilot study set the stage for the larger, 350-patient FLAAG clinical validation trial, critical for achieving FDA De Novo clearance.

Wound Hygiene & Debridement, Venous Wounds

Prospective clinical study on the efficacy of bacterial removal with mechanical debridement in and around chronic leg ulcers assessed with fluorescence imaging

Moelleken, M et al. Int Wound J 2020

MolecuLight imaging revealed the inadequacy of standard debridement highlighting the need for objective visualization of bacterial burden.

Fluorescence-Based Evaluation of Bacterial Load in Perilesional Skin: A Comparison Between Short Stretch Bandage and Zinc Oxide Bandage

Michelucci, A et al. Int J Low Extrem W 2023

MolecuLight imaging demonstrated that zinc oxide bandages significantly reduced bacterial load in VLUs compared to traditional multicomponent dressings.

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.
