ACTIONABLE, ACCURATE DATA
THE POWER OF DIAGNOSTIC-DRIVEN WOUND CARE IS IN YOUR HANDS!
The latest model of SnapshotNIR has features that expand the application of the technology to include almost all skin tones, advancing tissue assessment for physicians and patients. In addition to the same user-friendly interface and portability as past devices, the new KD205 model measures tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin in nearly all individuals at any location on the body.

WOUND CARE
-
Chronic wounds are difficult to treat, cost healthcare systems billions of dollars each year, and greatly affect patient quality of life. In severe cases, these types of wounds can lead to limb amputation. Current diagnostic tools to assess tissue health are either costly or difficult to employ (or both), and visual assessment alone is not adequate to see the whole picture.
-
SnapshotNIR is an easy-to-use, cost-effective, and repeatable tool to assess and track the tissue oxygen level in a patient, whether at a wound site or in an area of vascular concern. SnapshotNIR provides medical professionals value-based insight into the ongoing healing process when assessing and treating chronic wounds.

Blood perfusion is necessary to supply oxygen to tissues and is generally measured in the macrovascular network. This perfusion, although critical, does not necessarily mean that the oxygen is being successfully offloaded in the tissues at the microvascular or capillary network level, as perfusion can exist with very limited oxygen bound to hemoglobin.
LIMB PRESERVATION
-
Access to non-invasive vascular assessments (NIVA) are limited and the type of NIVA is specialty specific, with no simple solution existing across specialties. This creates confusion in identifying ischemic events in a health system or throughout the care continuum. Many healthcare professionals rely on clinical judgement alone in their assessment of the tissue due to complexities, costs, and inconsistencies in obtaining NIVAs at all care points.
Time is Tissue
-
Increasing access to non-invasive vascular assessments triages patients earlier in the care stream and accelerates intervention at the appropriate point-of-care. Assessing the tissue post-intervention in the OR can help optimize the therapy and provide a method for regular monitoring.
