The GENETWORx Wound Genie outperforms the standard wound culture as more than 85% of bacterial pathogens do not grow out in culture. It is able to detect anaerobic organisms growing deep inside a wound that a standard culture would often miss. With Wound Genie, you can expect a fast turnaround on the final report and detailed accuracy.
