Real-time bacterial fluorescence imaging at point of care
Bacterial load detection threshold
Safe violet light — non-invasive, no radiation
Instant fluorescence imaging at bedside
1
Enter a darkened room or apply the DarkDrape™ accessory over the wound area.
2
Shine the safe 405nm violet light directly onto the wound surface.
3
Wound components fluoresce in distinct colours — green for skin, red/cyan for elevated bacterial load.
4
Red and cyan signals indicate regions of bacterial load >10⁴ CFU/g, which correlates to moderate-to-heavy growth.
5
Clinician uses the fluorescence map to debride only the infected regions — reducing unnecessary intervention.
