Kent Imaging Partners with Marathon Medical Expanding Wound Imaging Across the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs

The partnership combines Kent’s tissue assessment devices, SnapshotNIR and SnapshotGLO with Marathon Medical’s more than 20 years of experience serving the VA.

CALGARY, AB – ALBERTA, CANADA, August 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Kent Imaging Inc., a leader in near-infrared tissue oxygenation and bacterial autofluorescence imaging, has announced a new partnership with Marathon Medical Corporation, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) specializing in federal healthcare distribution. Together, the organizations will expand access to Kent Imaging’s advanced wound imaging technologies across U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare facilities, helping clinicians identify patients at risk for wound complications earlier and support better outcomes for America’s Veterans.

The partnership combines Kent Imaging’s point-of-care tissue assessment devices, SnapshotNIR and SnapshotGLO, and any future product developments, with Marathon Medical’s more than 20 years of experience serving the VA, Department of Defense, and other federal healthcare agencies. Founded by Vietnam Veteran John St. Leger, Marathon Medical has built its business around supporting the federal healthcare system that serves those who have served the country.

Chronic wounds and lower extremity complications remain a significant health concern within the Veteran population, particularly among patients living with diabetes and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). By providing clinicians with objective information about tissue oxygenation and bacterial burden at the bedside, Kent Imaging’s solutions help support earlier clinical decision-making to improve healing outcomes and reduce preventable amputations.

“This partnership continues to advance our mission of improving outcomes for patients by making Kent Imaging’s technology more accessible to Veterans and the broader government healthcare community,” said Pierre Lemire, CEO of Kent Imaging. “We are proud to work with Marathon Medical to bring innovative imaging solutions to the clinicians who care for patients in need.”

“Echoing that commitment, this partnership gives us an opportunity to put that mission into action by expanding access to advanced wound imaging where it can make a meaningful difference in patient care,” adds Chris Tiemann, Vice President of Sales, Kent Imaging.

As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Marathon Medical is dedicated to delivering high-quality medical products and professional, personalized service throughout the federal healthcare system. The company works closely with VA hospitals, military treatment facilities, and other government agencies to ensure providers have timely access to innovative medical technologies.

“At Marathon Medical, our mission has always been to serve those who served. We are pleased to have Kent Imaging’s Snapshot suite as part of that mission,” said Jon Landis, Chief Commercialization Officer, Marathon Medical.

The partnership underscores both organizations’ commitment to advancing Veteran Healthcare through innovation while strengthening collaboration between medical technology companies and veteran-owned businesses dedicated to serving the federal healthcare community.
