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.

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 Lower Extremity Wounds 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 Lower Extremity Wounds 2022

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

Venous Wounds, Wound Hygiene & Debridement

An objective comparative study of non-surgical cleansing techniques and cleanser types in bacterial burden management

Oropallo, A. et al. International Wound Journal 2024

This study used MolecuLight fluorescence imaging to objectively identify the most effective cleansing methods and solutions for wound care. The findings provide valuable insights for developing evidence-based wound cleansing protocols.

Venous Wounds, Wound Hygiene & Debridement

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.

Outcomes & Cost Effectiveness, Venous Wounds

Use of a bacterial fluorescence imaging system to target wound debridement and accelerate healing: a pilot study

Cole, W and Coe S. J Wound Care 2020

MolecuLight imaging provided real-time guidance for debridement and antibiotic selection in chronic lower extremity wounds. Removal of bacterial fluorescence signals was associated with reduced wound areas.
