A wound infection monitoring system
Infection control is a key aspect of wound management strategies. An infected wound results in chemical imbalances in the wound and may lead to prolonged healing times and wound surface degradation. Wound dressings changes may result in damage to healing tissues and an increased risk of infection. …
