Impact of Chronic Wound Infections
Patients with infected wounds can experience an abnormal healing process that may lead to longer-term care, additional medications, pain, stress, depression, hospitalization, function and mobility loss. The result is higher costs for healthcare organizations and residents alike.
How can PCR wound infection testing help?
According to the National Institutes of Health, traditional culture methods detect only 1% of all bacteria present in chronic wounds. [3]
With the power of molecular testing, you can select the optimal therapy for your patient, resulting in improved treatment outcomes and reduced healthcare spending.
Why Choose GENETWORx for PCR Wound Testing
GENETWORx’s dedicated support team provides fast & accurate diagnostic results for efficient & effective wound treatment.
Patient-Specific Diagnostics
By partnering with GENETWORx, healthcare professionals can get quick, accurate results with one simple swab:
- Detection of 30 Pathogens
- Antibiotic Resistance
Personalized diagnostics, gives you the information you need to improve patient outcomes.
The PCR Testing Advantage
Detection
GENETWORx can detect more than 30 different types of wound pathogens and deliver 99% accurate results within 24-48 hours of lab sample receipt.
Accuracy
GENETWORx molecular pathogen testing is more accurate than standard culture testing. Our molecular pathogen testing detects anaerobic organisms growing deep inside a wound that standard cultures often miss. [5]
Amplification
Using a molecular approach, amplification of testing sample genetic material is faster than standard culture growth and delivers increased sensitivity and a quicker result. [6]
Speed
Our rapid turnaround time is within 24-28 hours from laboratory receipt.
Simplicity
Our simple to read report gives clinicians quick, actionable intelligence to make better treatment decisions.
Identification
Ability to identify pathogens when the patient is on empiric antibiotic treatment.
With molecular testing, not only can you receive a clear picture of the type and percent of pathogens causing the infection, in many cases, you can identify antimicrobial resistance. With the power of molecular testing, you can select the optimal medication therapy for your patient, improve treatment outcomes and reduce healthcare spend.
