Wound Panel Testing
Advanced pathogen identification for non-healing wounds with comprehensive antibiotic resistance detection to guide optimal treatment decisions.
Advanced Wound Pathogen Detection
Our Wound Panel utilizes quantitative Real-Time PCR to rapidly analyze your patient sample in 24 hours. RT-PCR technology precisely detects the correct pathogens and identifies antibiotic drug resistance, enabling providers to prescribe timely and effective treatment.
Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus and multi-drug resistant microbes have become problematic causative agents of nosocomial infections. They are also major causes of non-healing diabetic and post-surgical wounds, making accurate identification critical for successful treatment.
Wound Dx quickly identifies pathogens and detects potential antibiotic resistance, enabling effective treatment to begin sooner and improving healing outcomes for challenging wound infections.
Key Benefits of Wound Testing
Advanced molecular testing provides significant advantages for wound care management
Rapid Results
24-hour turnaround time enables faster treatment decisions and improved wound healing outcomes.
Superior Accuracy
More accurate than conventional culture methods with higher sensitivity for difficult-to-culture organisms.
Resistance Detection
Identifies potential antibiotic resistance patterns to guide appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
Polymicrobial Detection
Detects multiple pathogens in complex wound infections for comprehensive treatment planning.
Antibiotic Stewardship
Supports responsible antibiotic use and reduces unnecessary drug exposure and adverse effects.
Improved Healing
Faster pathogen identification leads to more effective treatment and improved wound healing rates.
