Scientific evidence confirms that skin surface temperature correlates with vascularization, yet existing technologies lack the ability to effectively visualize and quantify blood vessel networks in real time.
Traditional wound assessment also requires frequent dressing removal, which may cause secondary injuries, increase patient discomfort, delay healing (Marrone et al., JWC 2020), and contribute to excessive medical material consumption, creating both clinical and economic burdens.
A non-invasive method for monitoring temperature and vascular flow would aid skin viability assessment across wound care, plastic, and reconstructive surgery. Smart dressings with integrated temperature monitoring would further enhance real-time, continuous wound evaluation.
Skin Plastic Lab proprietary solution, Thermal Matrix, resolves these challenges by allowing real-time wound evaluation without dressing removal, maintaining the wound’s integrity and environment. With a temperature sensitivity of 0.01°C, the device facilitates early detection of complications and improves patient care by:
