See you at SAWC Fall 2024!
kent imaging is exhibiting at sawc fall in las vegas - Booth 718
Kent Imaging will be exhibiting at one of the first big shows of Fall 2024. From October 2-5th, Kent will be in Las Vegas at the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC). The conference is being held at Caeser’s Palace and the team will be available for product demos at Booth 718 - be sure to stop by!
Meet the kent imaging team
SnapshotNIR, one of the leading near-infrared spectroscopy imaging devices that measures tissue oxygenation, oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin for wound care, will be accessible for demonstrations. Covering the show will be the expert team from Kent Imaging:
Wound care focus
The SAWC emphasizes the multidisciplinary settings through which chronic wounds can be healed and amputations prevented. SnapshotNIR has the same goal of improving patient outcomes.
Using SnapshotNIR, you can streamline chronic wound processes:
Qualify patients for hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Document medical necessity for serial debridement
Capture wound and peri-wound data to assist in a successful CAMPs application
Monitor revascularization procedures
Assist in determining amputation success
reduce chronic wound recurrence rates with snapshotnir
SnapshotNIR can help reduce the recurrence rates of chronic wounds, leading to reduced amputation rates and higher patient satisfaction.
Dr. Charles Andersen was interested in comparing the subjective, visual assessment of a healed wound to the objective data provided by SnapshotNIR (1).
This study outlines how SnapshotNIR may help guide clinical decision-making for the optimal time for transition from protective wound dressings to protective shoe gear. Visualization of StO2 with point-of-care, noncontact, NIR imaging can assist clinicians in determining when deep dermal healing has occurred which can help guide patient education on gradual return to full activity to minimize wound recurrence.
Image A) Clinical photograph of a wound on the date it was defined as 100% re-epithelialized (eg, healed) on visual inspection (June 13, 2022).
Image B) In the corresponding near-infrared imaging assessment, note the increased oxyhemoglobin within the wound bed, most intense at the proximal aspect of the wound (red circle).
Image C) Clinical photograph of wound approximately 2 weeks later (June 24, 2022). The wound remains closed, meeting industry guidance on the definition of a completely healed wound.
Image D) The corresponding near-infrared imaging assessment shows continued increased tissue oxygenation saturation at the proximal aspect of the wound (red circle) signifying ongoing healing in this area.

About SAWC
The Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) is the forum to connect the entire wound care team. Leveraging the skills of an interdisciplinary team results in improved patient outcomes. The SAWC fosters innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration through an agenda designed for every clinician, across every practice setting.
About Kent Imaging
Kent Imaging, located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is a leading innovator in near-infrared tissue oxygenation imaging, which develops, manufactures, and markets medical technology that supports real-time decision-making in wound care, vascular and surgical subspecialties. Kent holds multiple patents in oxygen imaging technology and continues to provide innovative and advanced diagnostic imaging solutions to aid healthcare systems nationally and internationally. SnapshotNIR is supported by clinical evidence demonstrating its ability to help improve clinical decision-making in wound care and reduce healing time. Since receiving FDA and Health Canada clearance in 2017, the technology has been featured in several published articles and peer-reviewed posters. Applying the knowledge gained from clinical trials to patient care promotes consistency of treatment and optimal outcomes.
