Why choose GENETWORx’s PCR Wound Testing
How can PCR wound infection testing help?
According to the National Institutes of Health, about 6.7 million people in the U.S. are affected by chronic wounds. Patients with infected wounds can experience an abnormal healing process that can lead to longer-term care, additional medications, pain, stress, depression, hospitalization, function and mobility loss, and higher healthcare costs for healthcare organizations and patients alike.[1]
