Article Synopsis
- High bacterial loads in chronic wounds can lead to increased infection risks, and point-of-care fluorescence imaging can help detect and guide treatment decisions.
- In a study of 1,000 chronic wounds across 211 US facilities, FL imaging revealed elevated bacterial levels in 70.8% of wounds, while only 29.6% showed signs of infection.
- Following FL imaging, treatment plans were adjusted in 528 wounds, resulting in changes such as more debridement, hygiene improvements, and new therapies, indicating that this imaging technology enhances bacterial infection management.
