Study Details

Brief summary:

This is a non-randomized, single-blind post market clinical follow-up study for which 65 patients will be imaged at Rouge Valley Centenary Hospital (Scarborough and Rouge Hospital) who present with a chronic wound and are receiving standard wound care treatment. The MolecuLight i:X imaging device will be used by the study clinician 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), as per current standard of care in the principal investigator's wound care clinic. The acquired tissue sample will then be analysed using conventional gold standard semi-quantitative culture methods to determine bacterial species present, also as per current standard of care in this clinic.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

All Subjects

All subjects in this study will have their wounds imaged and assessed in the following manner:

Capture and save ST-image Capture and save FL-image Identify discrete locations of cyan (blue/green) fluorescent bacteria (FL_C) Acquire sample of tissue where cyan fluorescent bacteria are present (using curette method) Consent patient for inclusion in this study Note location of sample acquisition by annotating FL-image obtained in step 2 Send sample for microbiology analysis Note naming of microbiology sample on Case Report Form

Primary outcome measure

  • Evaluate the ability of the MolecuLight i:X Imaging Device to predicting the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in chronic wounds [ Time Frame: 1 hour ]
