Point-of-care fluorescence imaging device guides wound cleaning and patient education in obese wound care patients

January 27, 2020 -ABSTRACT Aim:

Obesity increases a person’s susceptibility to infections due to a combination of factors including increased bacterial colonization, skin folds which promote bacterial growth, and insufficient wound cleaning.1 Detecting bacteria based on clinical signs and symptoms is difficult as bacteria are invisible to the naked eye. We aimed

Handheld real-time bacterial fluorescence imaging guides wound cleaning and facilitates patient education in pilonidal sinus wound care patients

January 27, 2020 -ABSTRACT Aim:

Wound care following surgical removal of a pilonidal sinus is challenging due to proximity to the anus and the warm, moist, dark environment where bacteria can thrive.1 Two of the most common challenges in post excision pilonidal sinus wound care are: (1) unrecognized superficial critical bacterial colonization
