SnapshotNIR is a near-infrared (NIR), reflectance-based technology that measures tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) in superficial tissue using multiple wavelengths of NIR light. Snapshot provides users with a tissue oxygenation map to support medical decision-making, for tracking and trending oxygenation, and for evaluating tissue viability in wound and surgical care. The cost-effective and easy-to-use wound imaging device is non-invasive, eliminating the need for patient contact or injected dyes while near-instantaneously capturing critical diagnostic insights at the point of care.

"The technology we are building is unique and extremely valuable. It’s changing how clinicians treat acute and chronic wounds with critical insights they have never had before." - Pierre Lemire

It is an honor to have Kent’s leader and the innovative SnapshotNIR recognized on the world stage. Kent Imaging’s mission is to help improve outcomes and reduce complications in as many patients as possible.
