DO
YOU KNOW…..
“Mapping
the wound”
is a new technique based on microbial autofluorescence imaging of
the bacteria in wound. This mapping gives important visual and
objective pre- and post-debridement information about the wound at
the bedside in real time.
“Real-time
wound imaging”
means prompt visualization and recognition of bacteria in wounds and
at the patient bedside. Stakeholders and practitioners including
chiropodists, podiatrists, orthopedic surgeons are empowered by
immediate access to bacteriological information at the palm of their
hands and that is both reliable and accurate.

#2 is a Case Based Workshop on changing practise through applied
knowledge
This
2-day workshop is an interactive session focused on helping you, the

In
clinical practice today,
wound infection diagnosis relies on visual assessment of the wound
under standard room lighting conditions.
- is a portable hand-held device
- needs no contact and is not invasive
- needs no use of contrast agents
- is safe and easy to use in a clinical setting
- provides real-time imaging of bacteria in wounds at the point-of-care diagnosis
- offers surveillance of bacteria in wounds and response to treatment
- integrates into current clinical workflow
- offers imaging for early detection of bacteria in wounds of asymptomatic patients
The
Bacteria in Wound Blog is all about wound care management. Our
previous blog showcased the technology behind imaging bacteria in
wounds with MolecuLight i:X.
Now
you can learn more on how real-time imaging of bacteria in wound can
guide your protocols at your practise, by clicking here.
