Oxygen is essential to wound healing; therefore, accurate monitoring can guide clinical decisions. Clinical wound assessment is often subjective, and tools to monitor wound oxygen are typically expensive, indirect, and highly variable. This study demonstrates the utility of a novel, low-cost oxygen-sensing thin film for serial assessment of wound oxygenation.
