Burns
Early surgical management of burn injuries that will not heal spontaneously is critical. The decision to excise and graft is based on a visual assessment that is often inaccurate yet continues to be the primary means of grading the injury. But now there's MIMOSA Pro.

Early surgical management of burn injuries that will not heal spontaneously is critical. The decision to excise and graft is based on a visual assessment that is often inaccurate yet continues to be the primary means of grading the injury.
Surgical burn treatment depends on an accurate estimation of burn depth. Many methods have been used to assess burns, but none has gained wide acceptance. Multispectral imaging technique has entered the medical research field with encouraging results.
Multispectral imaging (MSI) has a high potential to be established as a new contact-free measuring method in burn assessment. From hyperspectral imaging, perfusion parameters can be estimated and the microcirculatory of burn wounds over the first 72h after thermal injury can be objectively described. Using AI and pattern recognition these parameters may provide depth profiles.
The depth profiles of the perfusion parameters can present features and differences depending on the degree of damage. With multispectral imaging and advanced data processing the perfusion characteristics of burn wounds can be visualized in more detail. Based on the analysis of these perfusion profiles, a new and more reliable classification of burn degrees can be developed supporting the early selection of the optimal treatment.
This pocket-sized device can be used by any healthcare professional to collect and collate data for clinician review - allowing for a reduction in workload for the clinician and unprecedented access to care for patients!
