Did you ever find a custom solution for this? It would be a pretty trivial application for someone to write.

In canned solutions you could probably do this with a prepress tool (like Photoshop) which includes a notion of page layout. Load the image, measure the known item in pixels, set the appropriate DPI, and then use the page layout features to measure the wound in cm or inches.
