Wound Assessment Paradigm Shift: A 350-Patient Multi-Site Clinical Trial Incorporating Bacterial Fluorescence Imaging into Standard of Care

Objective: Moderate-to-heavy bacterial loads delay healing and can lead to infection; therefore, clinical evaluation of signs and symptoms (CSS) of the bacterial-infection continuum is im...
