SerenaGroup founder and medical director Dr Serena said: “One of the most troublesome and elusive criteria in treating wounds is the timely and accurate assessment of viable tissue.

“Kent’s device will propel us a long way down the healing path with a technology that has been lacking across the board in the Wound Care space.”

To date, SerenaGroup is said to have conducted more than 100 wound healing clinic trials.

Kent Imaging CEO Pierre Lemire said: “Our joint belief is that we can improve patient care and outcomes by significantly improving clinically relevant data that is required to assess and manage wounds.”
