"SnapshotNIR was of tremendous value to me during the early post-operative period for the patient's fasciocutaneous flap. It gave me good indication that the flap had enough oxygenation to heal." — Dr. Austin Mishko

A patient with uncontrolled diabetes and PAD underwent a reverse sural artery flap placed over exposed tendons. Dr. Austin Mishko didn't have to guess whether the flap was viable; he used SnapshotNIR which gave him a real number, in real time: StO2 71% immediately post-op. The next day this was confirmed with follow up imaging, giving the clinical team confidence in their intervention.
The result was a wound prepped for a split thickness skin graft in the upcoming weeks, and ultimately, a limb that didn't have to be amputated.

Kent Imaging is excited to announce our new partnership with Marathon Medical Corporation to expand access to advanced wound imaging technologies across U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare facilities.

Together, we’re bringing Kent’s SnapshotNIR and SnapshotGLO technologies into a healthcare system serving the patients who have served. By providing clinicians with objective information about tissue oxygenation and bacterial burden at the point of care, these technologies can support earlier clinical decision-making and help identify patients at risk for wound complications.

This partnership brings together Kent Imaging’s imaging technology and Marathon Medical’s more than 20 years of experience serving the VA, Department of Defense and other federal healthcare agencies.

We’re proud to be part of an effort focused on advancing Veteran healthcare through innovation—and getting the right information into clinicians’ hands when it matters.

A 49-year-old man was at high risk of amputation. Here's what changed the outcome.

Dr. Austin Mishko, DPM, and his team at Lee Health took a staged approach, eventually performing a reverse sural artery fasciocutaneous flap to cover the exposed tendons in the wound. The question remained; would the flap survive long enough for the wound to progress towards healing, and the next step of the treatment plan?

Dr. Mishko used SnapshotNIR to gather objective data in real-time. Immediately post-op, StO2 read 71%. On post-op day 1, still a strong 67%. The patient was able to progress to the next steps of treatment, ultimately healing and avoiding amputation.

This is what limb preservation can look like when clinical judgment is supported by objective data.

SnapshotNIR has web-based connectivity with WoundExpert, one of the leading web-based EMRs in wound care.

Clinicians can log into their WoundExpert account right on the device and drag-and-drop SnapshotNIR reports and hemoglobin view images straight into the patient's profile. No extra steps, no switching devices.

That means objective tissue oxygenation data, oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, total hemoglobin, and StO2, is documented and accessible right where clinicians are already working.

"I've been using SnapshotNIR for several years and the ability to quickly drag and drop detailed images and reports directly into our EHR has streamlined patient documentation. This ensures we have the objective evidence needed to support medical necessity." — Misael C. Alonso, MD, FACP, CWSP, FAPWCA

Faster documentation. Stronger clinical evidence. Better continuity of care.

60% to 68%. 74% to 79%.

Those are StO2 readings from the same wound, before and after a single conservative cleansing.

Here's what guided the clinical decisions:

SnapshotGLO revealed extensive red and cyan fluorescence throughout a fungating melanoma wound, bacterial burden beyond what visual assessment had suggested. The clinicians completed the intervention and SnapshotNIR confirmed the result.

Peri-wound and wound bed oxygenation both climbed, moving the tissue towards progressive healing, measured in the same visit, with no delayed cultures and no repeat appointment needed to know if it worked.

Bacteria and oxygenation are two of the biggest barriers to healing. This case shows what happens when you can see, and treat, both.

ICYMI: See how clinicians are using SnapshotGLO to educate patients and guide debridement decisions in this case series:

Learn how SnapshotGLO bacterial autofluorescence imaging can improve debridement precision and wound bed preparation. This case series shows how real-time visualization of bacterial burden helps guide debridement interventions, patient education, reduce wound bioburden, and support better wound care

"Without the Snapshot Suite, I would have managed this wound based on what I could see and what I could see was not telling the whole story."

Tyler Sexton, MD, MAPWCA, describes a case of fungating melanoma where visual assessment alone missed extensive bacterial burden and impaired tissue oxygenation hiding beneath the surface.

Most wound imaging shows you one of those barriers. The Snapshot Suite shows you both, bacterial and oxygenation, from the same bedside visit.

That combined view guided a conservative intervention appropriate for this friable, malignant wound, and then confirmed efficacy in real time.
