WOUND CARE-IDX

Smart Diagnostics. Precise Recovery.

Reveal hidden pathogens and biofilm-related resistance in chronic wounds with next-gen molecular testing.

Clinical Background

Wound management has become one of the most complex practices in today’s healthcare setting. While there are While there are multiple new advancements in treating wounds, some of the diagnostic options for ruling out infection have been limited to conventional culture, which is labor-intensive, lacks sensitivity and specificity and is unable to grow many of today’s culprit pathogens.

Many patients with chronic wounds are placed on empiric antibiotic therapy, further complicating the ability of a culture to grow the pathogens and contributing to the global epidemic of antibiotic resistance. As we learn more about the role of biofilm in wounds, we are convinced that better diagnostics are needed to identify the complex pathogens of the biofilm and the resistance genes they often carry.

Why WOUND CARE-IDX?

  • Detects multiple wound pathogens — including anaerobes and resistant organisms missed by culture
  • Identifies biofilm-related bacteria and the resistance genes they may carry
  • Supports antibiotic stewardship by guiding appropriate antimicrobial use
  • Essential for managing chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, and post-op infections
  • Delivers faster, more accurate results for earlier intervention
