C/S – SWAB FOR C/S

Using a Hypro Diagnostics procedure, the analysis of a wound via a C&S swab provides detailed insights into the types and quantities of microorganisms present It’s essential to understand that chronic wounds frequently contain colonized microorganisms, which may not necessarily denote an active infection. Therefore, conducting wound cultures using this method should be reserved for instances when noticeable signs and symptoms indicating a potential worsening infection are evident. Employing this targeted approach ensures that cultures are undertaken purposefully, enabling more precise treatment decisions without unnecessarily diagnosing or treating wounds that might not require immediate intervention.
