First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.
What this could mean
