Diagnostic Tools & Equipment
Wound assessment tools are designed to support all qualified practitioners in the field in delivering safe and appropriate wound care. Assessing your wound is the first step to healing. Our team uses several techniques to learn about your individual wound care needs, and provide a personalized plan for treatment.

THE POWER OF DIAGNOSTIC-DRIVEN WOUND CARE IS IN YOUR HANDS!
SnapshotNIR 4.0* is the latest advancement in near-infrared tissue oxygenation wound care imaging. What lurks beneath the surface can often be more detrimental than what is seen with the eye.
SnapshotNIR (KD204T) is a non-contact near-infrared (NIR), reflectance-based technology that measures tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) in superficial tissue. Using multiple wavelengths of NIR light, SnapshotNIR measures relative amounts of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin in the micro-circulation where oxygen exchange is happening. Snapshot provides users with a tissue oxygenation map that can be used to support clinical decision making, for tracking and trending oxygenation, and for evaluating tissue viability. Capture actionable data regarding the availability of oxygenated blood in tissue, helping to provide insightful decision making throughout the continuum of care.
Tissue Analytics
THE PLATFORM THAT REVOLUTIONIZES WOUND CARE
An AI-powered, e-clinical platform that is transforming data collection and analysis for clinical trials related to chronic wounds, skin lesions and dermatological skin conditions.
Whether it's a venous ulcer, diabetic ulcer, pressure injury, surgical wound, or a burn, we can track our patients' skin lesions throughout the entire healing process. No more rulers! With less than 5% error rate using the platform, our team will measure wounds more accurately than ever before.
Ankle Brachial Index
The ankle brachial index, or ABI, is a simple test that compares the blood pressure in the upper and lower limbs. Health care providers calculate ABI by dividing the blood pressure in an artery of the ankle by the blood pressure in an artery of the arm. The result is the ABI. If this ratio is less than 0.9, it may mean that a person has peripheral artery disease (PAD) in the blood vessels in his or her legs.
In PAD, plaque builds up in the arteries. It often affects the vessels that bring blood to the legs. The reduced blood flow can cause pain and numbness. Low ABI may mean that your legs and feet aren’t getting as much blood as they need. An ABI test won’t show exactly which blood vessels have become narrowed or blocked, though.
During an ankle brachial index test, you lie on your back. A technician takes your blood pressure in both of your arms using an inflatable cuff, similar to the one used in the doctor’s office. The technician also measures the blood pressure in the ankles. The doctor uses these values to compute your ABI.
PCR Testing
Our PCR wound test is designed to accurately assess wound infections with remarkable precision. Utilizing the powerful polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, our testing amplifies and analyzes genetic material from patient wound samples, enabling rapid detection of a wide range of bacterial and fungal pathogens. By identifying the causative agents responsible for wound infections, our PCR wound test offers healthcare providers valuable insights for targeted treatment decisions and optimal wound care management to promote healing and prevent complications.
PCR Testing can detect more than 30 different types of wound pathogens, and deliver 99% accurate results within 24-48 hours of lab sample receipt.
