Functional materials for fast diagnosis of wound infection (InFact)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

"Early detection of an incipient wound infection is a challenge for the attending physician , since its early diagnosis allows the timely initiation of treatment, thus reducing the severity of the disease . Currently, however, wound infection is not diagnosed until becoming already evident. As a consequence, the treatment of the patient is further complicated and more likely to have a negative ou ...
