Discover Early, Accurate and Non-Contact Assessment of burns with the moorLDI2-BI. This accurate, clinically proven system uses laser Doppler imaging to offer rapid, non-contact and early diagnosis of burn depth and healing potential.

It is the only laser Doppler imager to have been through a multi-centre, worldwide clinical trial and obtained CE marking and FDA 510k for clinical use in burn diagnosis.

Both Patients and staff benefit from this clinically proven system. Early and accurate burn assessment enables:

Improved patient care and reduced costs
Prompt and appropriate treatment; earlier surgery when required
Avoidance of unnecessary surgery, for wounds that appear deep by clinical assessment but are shown to be more superficial by the moorLDI2-BI; the scarring and pain of a donor site can be avoided in these cases.

A unique dedicated colour palette has been developed and refined over 10 years to allow for simple and accurate diagnosis of Healing Potential within a burn injury; the moorLDI2-BI is the only system with an approved palette for burn assessment (CE Marking and FDA 510K).

To re-cap, the benefits of use of the moorLDI2-BI include:

Early, accurate burn diagnosis - from 48 hours
Mobile equipment enabling bedside assessment
Improves assessment accuracy
Non-contact and non-invasive imaging
Fast scanning – from just 40 seconds
