MolecuLight Launches Thermal Imaging for DX™ Platform

MolecuLight Inc., a renowned leader in fluorescent imaging for rapid bacterial detection, has officially unveiled its latest innovation, the Thermal Imaging for DX™ platform. This cutting-edge addition allows healthcare providers to assess both thermal and bacterial levels in a single, integrated device.

In an extraordinary announcement made at the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) Spring event, MolecuLight revealed the immediate availability of this thermal imaging module. Positioned as a game-changer in wound care, the module seamlessly integrates with the existing MolecuLightDX™ platform, enabling clinicians to capture vital thermal images concurrently with established fluorescence and standard digital images for a comprehensive assessment of wound healing.

This launch aims to enhance clinical decision-making by providing healthcare professionals with a deeper understanding of the wound environment. The technology is designed to assist in accurately detecting bacterial loads and monitoring the healing process.

Transformative Technology at SAWC Spring

The SAWC Spring meeting, taking place from April 30 to May 3, 2025, in Grapevine, Texas, serves as an ideal venue for MolecuLight to showcase its innovations. With over ten presentations highlighting the potential of the combined imaging technology, experts will address critical issues such as improving wound evaluations and transforming the management of complex surgical wounds.

Prominent figures in wound care, including Dr. Michael Desvigne and Dr. Charles Andersen, will present findings supporting the integration of thermal imaging with fluorescence capabilities. This novel approach provides insights into localized skin temperature variation, which may indicate inflammation, infection dynamics, or deep tissue injuries.

Comprehensive Assessment and Enhanced Workflow

The MolecuLight Thermal Imaging module enables clinicians to visualize, document, and quantify thermal changes directly at the patient's bedside. By merging thermal data with fluorescent bacterial load information and precise wound measurements, healthcare professionals gain a more objective perspective of the healing process.

The key benefits of the integrated MolecuLightDX™ include:

• - All-in-One Assessment: Capture and correlate thermal, fluorescence, and standard images using one device at the point of care.
• - Objective Temperature Analysis: Quickly visualize skin temperature distribution and quantify temperature differences between anatomical sites.
• - Streamlined Workflow and Documentation: Co-register thermal, fluorescent, and standard images with a single click, improving efficiency and creating a comprehensive visual record for electronic health record integration.
• - Enhanced Clinical Intelligence: Combine objective data on wound size, bacterial presence, and thermal activity to facilitate informed treatment planning and monitoring.

According to Anil Amlani, CEO of MolecuLight, this advancement represents a significant leap in imaging diagnostics for wound care. “For the first time, physicians can seamlessly access critical information from three essential assessment modalities, all integrated into a single portable device,” he stated.

Availability and Future Perspectives

The MolecuLight Thermal Imaging module is currently available in North America for the MolecuLightDX™ platform. With the upcoming SAWC Spring event, MolecuLight aims to illustrate the multifaceted benefits of this innovative device and solidify its role in revolutionizing wound care.
