Smartwound: Infection detecting wound dressing
Urinostics: Catheter-associated urinary tract sensing
Smartwound: Infection detecting wound dressing
A wound dressing that provides early and rapid indication of the onset of infection - by a simple colour change.
The dressing contains phospholipid vesicles which respond to membrane damaging toxins released by bacteria in wounds as the microbes reach a critical density.
SPaCE: Near to patient infection sensing
Urinostics: Catheter-associated urinary tract sensing
Smartwound: Infection detecting wound dressing
SPaCE wound swab sensor detects the following bacteria within 60 minutes:
Staphylococcus aureus
Paseudomonas aeruginosa
Candida species
Enterococcus faecalis
Urinostics: Catheter-associated urinary tract sensing
Urinostics: Catheter-associated urinary tract sensing
Urinostics: Catheter-associated urinary tract sensing
A simple, drainage bag-based sensor for the early warning of catheter blockage following infection by P. miraiblis. The system allows the patient or carer to be informed 14.5 hours before blockage occurs, so that action can be taken.
