The MolecuLight i:X device enables healthcare professionals to see the actual accumulation of fluorescent bacteria in a wound, even when not visible to the naked eye, explains Andy Weymann, MD, chief medical officer at Smith & Nephew. It also offers guiding debridement, wound cleansing, and wound measurement, he says.
