A simple, non-invasive, colour-based carbon dioxide (CO) indicator is described. The indicator provides an indirect response to the rapid, aerobic microbial colonisation of an underlying wound when used in conjunction with an occlusive ( sealed) dressing. The indicator has potential as an early warning indicator of infection in chronic wounds.
一种简单、无创、基于颜色的二氧化碳(CO)指示剂被描述。当与封闭(密封)敷料一起使用时,该指示剂对底层伤口的快速需氧微生物定植提供了间接反应。该指示剂在慢性伤口感染的早期预警指标方面具有潜力。
