MolecuLight Optimizes Burn Care with Advanced Bacterial Imaging at the American Burn Association 2025 Annual Meeting
TORONTO, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MolecuLight Inc., a global pioneer in point-of-care fluorescence imaging for rapid bacterial detection in wounds, announces its presence at the American Burn Association (ABA) Annual Meeting in Phoenix, AZ, April 8-11. MolecuLight will showcase its innovative fluorescence imaging systems that empower providers with immediate, non-invasive bacterial visualization for optimized burn care.
Attendees at the ABA meeting will have the opportunity to:
- Witness Clinical Breakthroughs – Podium Presentation: Dr. Erik Hanson-Viana, renowned plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Hospital Angeles in Mexico City, will present his research on "Fluorescence Imaging-Guided Sampling Provides More Accurate and Actionable Microbiology Compared to the Levine Technique" on Wednesday, April 9th at 11:45 AM during the Educational Forums and Correlatives session. He will unveil how MolecuLight-guided sampling revolutionizes large burn reconstruction, enabling optimal graft timing and site selection, surpassing traditional techniques.
- Explore Cutting-Edge Research – Poster Presentation: Dr. Carlos Daniel Torres García, plastic and reconstructive surgery resident at Hospital Angeles, will present his award-winning research, "Bacterial Fluorescence Signals Are Associated with Dermal Regeneration Template Infections in Burn Patients", on Wednesday April 9th at 12:30 PM during Poster Roud 1. This work demonstrates the critical link between bacterial loads detected using MolecuLight and failure of cellular tissue products in burn reconstruction. Dr. García's research has been internationally recognized, earning 2nd place for Best Scientific Protocol in the 55th Annual Mexican National Plastic Surgery Congress earlier this year.
- Hands-On Innovation – Live Demonstrations at Booth #626: MolecuLight will exhibit at Booth #626 throughout the conference. Attendees can engage with Dr. Erik Hanson-Viana and MolecuLight representatives, and experience live demonstrations of the MolecuLight i:X® and MolecuLight DX™ imaging systems, understanding how these technologies can provide real-time bioburden information to guide clinical decision-making for optimized burn care.
"The ability to visualize bacteria in real-time with MolecuLight has far-reaching implications for improving burn wound reconstruction," says Dr. Erik Hanson-Viana. "By providing immediate, actionable information, MolecuLight has led to more precise interventions, ultimately improving reconstructive outcomes. My research also demonstrates the clear advantage of MolecuLight-targeted sampling over traditional methods, and I am thrilled to share these findings with my colleagues at the ABA meeting."
