International Journal of Tissue Repair (IJTR), consensus document
This consensus document presents recommendations from a multidisciplinary panel of eight North American clinicians on incorporating point-of-care fluorescence imaging into surgical wound management. The panel recommends using fluorescence imaging during pre-operative assessment to identify bacterial burden, during surgery to guide debridement and assess the wound bed, and during early post-operative follow-up (1 to 2 weeks) to monitor bacterial burden and support timely intervention. The authors also identify the need for further research and broader evaluation across surgical specialties. The document was supported by MolecuLight.
