NCT01378728

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the use and effectiveness of our 'handheld' fluorescence digital imaging device platform for real-time non-invasive clinical monitoring of chronic wounds for healing and bacterial contamination/infectious status over time. This will enable us to determine if the device can detect and longitudinally track intrinsic changes that may occur during the wound healing process including, but not limited to, collagen re-modeling and bacterial infection of the wound site.

  • presenting with chronic wounds (i.e., diabetic ulcers, etc.), with known or unknown infection status.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients will be excluded in the study according to the following criteria:
  • treatment with an investigational drug within 1 month before study enrolment
  • any contra-indication to routine wound care and/or monitoring
  • patients with pre-existing skin issues (e.g. melanomas, psoriasis) in areas close to wound(s) that will be studied
  • inability to consent
