Abstract

The invention provides a system and method for analysis and treatment of a tissue site. The system of the invention includes a probe unit containing one or more tissue sensing and monitoring probes configured to measure one or more parameters indicative of one or more states of the tissue site and one or more tissue treatment probes configured to deliver a treatment to the tissue site. A processor receives signals from the sensing and monitoring probes and determines whether the probe unit is located at the tissue site to be treated. The treatment and monitoring probes are activated in order to monitor the state of the tissue site while the treatment is being delivered to the tissue site. The processor receives signals from the sensing and monitoring probes during delivery of the treatment indicative of the state of the tissue site and determines, as the treatment is being carried out, any one or more of whether the treatment carried out so far is adequate, whether an additional treatment needs to be carried out, and whether the parameters of the treatment or the treatment targets need to be modified.
