PITTSBURGH, Nov. 18, 2024/PRNewswire/ -- MolecuLight Inc., the leader in point-of-care fluorescence imaging for wound care, is pleased to announce its readiness to support the recent LCD changes for skin substitutes. These changes, which emphasize the importance of infection prevention, control, and thorough wound bed preparation necessitate rigorous documentation of wound bed status prior to the placement of a skin substitute. Additionally, the new LCD requires objective verification that all necessary efforts were made to offer the best chance of success for skin substitute treatment.
MolecuLight's innovative fluorescence imaging technology empowers healthcare providers through a powerful visual tool to accurately assess wounds. By visualizing and establishing the location of bacterial load/biofilm in real-time, clinicians can make informed decisions about wound treatment plans and appropriate skin substitute placement, consistent with new CMS guidelines.
