ABSTRACT:
A wound management system including a coordinate measuring machine and a computer database system for collecting, managing and displaying wound data. The computer database allows the operator to collect data regarding various wound parameters including perimeters, depth, undermining, and tunneling. As the operator collects wound data, the locations of previous wound data are displayed so that an effective comparison can be made between past and current measurements. The wound management system generates graphical displays that allow the practitioner to quickly track wound healing.
