MolecuLight Launches Thermal Imaging Module

MolecuLight Inc., a leader in point-of-care fluorescence imaging, has made a significant advancement in wound care diagnostics with its newly launched Thermal Imaging Module for the MolecuLightDX™ platform. This state-of-the-art clip-on module allows healthcare professionals to obtain detailed thermal images alongside established fluorescence images, enhancing their ability to assess bacterial load and document wound measurements, all from a single device.

The announcement came coinciding with MolecuLight’s presence at the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) Spring meeting held in Grapevine, Texas, from April 30 to May 3, 2025. There, they showcased their latest innovations at Booth 633 and shared compelling clinical evidence supporting the efficacy of their advanced imaging systems.

MolecuLight has gained attention with over ten posters presented at the SAWC Spring meeting, showcasing the capabilities of their imaging technology. The presentations emphasize crucial themes such as accurate bacterial detection, healing progress monitoring, and the management of complex surgical wound reconstructions. Renowned medical professionals, including Drs. Michael Desvigne and Charles Andersen, actively contributed their expertise, solidifying the technology’s importance in diverse wound care environments.

Significance of Thermal Imaging in Wound Care

A pivotal component of the new Thermal Imaging Module is its capacity to visualize and document localized skin temperature fluctuations, crucial indicators of infection dynamics, perfusion shifts, or early signs of deep tissue injuries. Clinical studies suggest that these temperature variations serve as essential markers for assessing wound conditions.

The MolecuLight Thermal Imaging Module integrates seamlessly with the DX platform and provides healthcare providers with objective thermal data, which elucidates the wound environment comprehensively. By combining this information with bacterial load data and precise wound measurements, clinicians can make more informed treatment decisions, improving patient care and outcome tracking.

Key Advantages of the MolecuLightDX™ with Thermal Imaging

• - All-in-One Comprehensive Assessment: The MolecuLightDX™ can capture and correlate thermal, fluorescence (bacterial load), and standard images, streamlining the assessment at the point of care.
• - Objective Temperature Analysis: Clinicians can quickly visualize and analyze skin temperature distribution, allowing for an objective assessment of changes between different anatomical regions.
• - Streamlined Workflow Documentation: The technology facilitates the capturing of integrated thermal and fluorescence images in one click. This efficiency helps create a complete visual documentation that aligns with existing Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems.
• - Enhanced Clinical Insight: The integration of objective data on wound dimensions, bacterial presence, and thermal activity equips healthcare professionals with a robust foundation for making treatment plans and monitoring healing progress.

Anil Amlani, CEO of MolecuLight, remarked on the launch, stating, "MolecuLight continues to push the boundaries of diagnostic imaging in wound care, and this launch represents a significant leap forward. Clinicians can now access critical insights from three assessment modalities—digital wound measurement, validated bacterial fluorescence imaging, and strategic thermal imaging—all integrated into a portable device. This innovation empowers clinicians with a comprehensive understanding of the wound environment, aiding effective, data-driven treatment decisions and progress monitoring."

Availability of the MolecuLight Thermal Imaging Module

The Thermal Imaging Module for the MolecuLightDX™ is set to hit the market across North America. Attendees at the SAWC Spring meeting were given the first look at this cutting-edge capability. MolecuLight aims to transform the field of wound care by providing healthcare providers with the tools needed to enhance patient care significantly.
