Wound Diagnostics

Monitoring of acute and chronic wounds is a complex process as compromised tissue allow invasive microbial pathogens to enter the body increasing the risk of infection, affecting the patient’s potential for healing and overall well-being.  It takes accurate wound diagnostic tests and precise laboratory values to provide the necessary clinical, microbiological, and cellular insights to obtain a clear prognostic understanding of the patient’s tissue repair process. Renuvix Labs’ inexpensive and rapid testing greatly improve the detection of infectious microorganisms from wounds to help physicians develop an informed critical plan of care.
