Fluorescence Wound Imaging For Bacteria

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 0598T

Uses a handheld imaging device held above a wound, which makes bacteria in and around the wound glow under a special light so their location and how heavy the load is can be seen straight away. Nothing touches the wound and no dye is injected, and what is seen guides how the wound is cleaned and treated.
