Check Your Wound Health: Wound Swab Test
The Wound Swab Test is an essential diagnostic tool for identifying microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens that cause wound infections. It plays a key role in diagnosing conditions such as cellulitis, abscesses, and infected ulcers, ensuring appropriate treatment to support faster recovery and prevent complications.
This test is especially important for individuals with slow-healing wounds, post-surgical infections, or wounds exhibiting signs of infection such as redness, swelling, pain, or discharge. It is also vital for those with conditions like diabetes or weakened immunity, where the risk of wound complications is significantly higher.
