Summary

This is a non-randomized, single-blind post market clinical follow-up study for which 50 patients will be imaged at the Judy Dan Research and Treatment Centre who present with a chronic and are receiving standard wound care treatment. The i:X imaging device visualizes fluorescing bacteria in real-time. The device will be used as an adjunctive tool in the assessment of the wound and will be used to guide the targeted sampling of a wound (with curettage scraping). The overall objective of this work is to evaluate the positive predictive value (PPV) of the MolecuLight i:X Imaging Device in predicting the presence of bacteria in chronic wounds. The presence of bacteria will be determined micro-biologically by semi-quantitative culture analysis.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • presents with a chronic wound of the lower limb (e.g. diabetic foot ulcer, venous leg ulcer, other acceptable aetiology)
  • red or cyan fluorescence signals observed within or around wound on MolecuLight i:X images

Exclusion Criteria

  • Treatment with an investigational drug within 1 month before study enrollment
  • Use of systemic (oral or intravenous) antibiotics
  • Inability to consent to medical photography
  • Any contra-indication to routine wound care and/or monitoring
