Why measure wounds?

Wound measurement and assessment is important for several reasons including:

• Tracking patient progress to ensure that healing of a specific wound is progressing with the selected treatment regime
• Allowing institution managers to audit patient progress and institution effectiveness
• Building a reliable and consistent database for outcomes based studies of wound care
• Improving patient compliance
• Consistently documenting patient care for reimbursement purposes and for protection of the health care provider against litigation.

In discussions with nurses and doctors involved in wound care who were interested in using our existing FastSCAN technology (www.fastscan3d.com), it became clear to ARANZ Medical that a technology based solution could be developed that could be more accurate, more efficient, and more integrated with electronic medical records than the current state of the art systems.  Since late 2004 ARANZ Medical has developed the Silhouette system to meet that need.
