Wound Infection Testing

Chronic wounds are a challenge to professionals and consume a great deal of healthcare resources. Chronic wounds have a complex pathophysiology and contain polymicrobial infections existing as a cooperative community that is resistant to antibiotic therapies. Healthcare providers have relied on conventional culture methods which fail to provide an accurate diagnosis of the microbial interactions or representation of microorganism within a wound.

Patients Choice WOUND+ test delivers advanced DNA analysis using Real-Time PCR technology, providing absolute identification of microorganisms within 24-hours. The WOUND+ test provides insight into microorganisms contributing to polymicrobial infection, quantification, and resistance gene identification with custom treatment recommendations leading to increased patient outcomes and lower healthcare costs.

​This State-of-the-art technology and Antimicrobial Stewardship Program aims to improve the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatment and patient outcomes by proving physicians with the tools they need to optimize the use of advanced diagnostics.
