Targeting curettage debridement to regions of bioburden in diabetic foot ulcers with real-time bacterial fluorescence imaging

January 27, 2020 -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
