MolecuLight’s fluorescence imaging devices claim to be ‘revolutionising’ the detection and treatment of infections in healthcare.

By offering real-time visualisation of harmful bacteria in wounds, these devices enable clinicians to make more informed decisions, leading to ‘improved’ patient outcomes and minimised healthcare expenses.

MolecuLight ‘streamlines’ workflows and enhances ‘documentation accuracy’ by providing a tool that combines bacterial detection, wound measurement, and imaging capabilities.

MolecuLight CEO Anil Amlani said: “We are thrilled to partner with Hayfin, a leading global alternative investment manager which has extensive investment experience in companies focused on wound care.

“This investment will enable us to accelerate our goal of improving how wounds are treated worldwide. We will further expand our footprint to reach more healthcare providers and patients while continuing to develop additional cutting-edge features including thermal imaging, 3D wound visualisation, and other unique feature sets that will be announced over the next six months.”
