Wound Imaging Solutions (Ref: 2023/S 000-036363)

The Wound Imaging Solutions framework offers multiple suppliers, supporting trusts in procuring wound assessment and monitoring systems, devices and digital aids. These systems aid in the measurement, imaging, and documentation of wounds, capturing two- or three-dimensional assessments integrated with electronic medical record software.

Capable of measuring width, length, and depth, with some offering thermal imaging, these devices provide valuable data for tracking the healing process. The solutions are particularly beneficial in cases involving multiple clinical staff. The captured images can be applied to electronic patient records, supporting consultations within the multi-disciplinary team.

The framework’s diagnostic and imaging services can be particularly useful for various conditions, including diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, and skin lesions and will assist health professionals such as surgeons, dermatologists, nurses, and specialists in wound care and vascular health.
