Deep tissue injury thermographic assessment. Infrared thermography was used to assess the severity of deep tissue injury in a patient with a healing pressure ulcer. Thermography confirmed an extensive area of devitalized tissue underneath the wound’s eschar. In addition, it also allowed the identification of significant peri-wound inflammation and more devitalized tissue (arrow) which was not apparent at clinical inspection alone. Images, courtesy of JR-G, were acquired using the Skin and Wound mobile app (Swift Medical Inc., Toronto, ON, Canada) paired to a FLIR One Pro mobile camera.
