Entec Health will be showcasing the Silhouette digital wound assessment and information management system this week at the 16th annual Scottish Conference of The Diabetic Foot Journal. Come and see us at Stand 19 in the Exhibition area.

The conference is being held at The Marriott Hotel, Glasgow on Thursday 18 June 2015.

Silhouette is receiving a very positive response from the podiatry community in the UK. The Silhouette system enables diabetic foot care health professionals to capture, share and report diabetes foot ulceration progress data in a digital format for improved patient management.

Silhouette supports clinicians to:

  1. Generate objective wound progress data using novel 3D wound measurement
  2. Monitor response to treatment with quantified ulcer size data and wound progress charts
  3. Establish non-contact wound assessment that is fast and easy to perform
  4. Share a central digital database of ulcer assessment information across MDT care team
  5. Utilise PDF wound assessment report for better documentation of DFU outcomes
