Light-Based scanner could reveal hidden infections and oxygen levels in wounds
NCT ID NCT07646938
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a handheld device that uses special light to measure oxygen levels, detect bacteria, and check temperature in wounds. Doctors will use the images to guide cleaning procedures. The goal is to see if this extra information helps them decide how much tissue to remove. The study includes 20 adults with wounds larger than 1 cm².
