Chronic wounds and combat-related injuries often lead to infections, which are exacerbated by the rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
- Today, infections are often detected by visually inspecting the wound or sending samples to a lab, a process that takes time.
- When an infection is identified, patients are given broad-spectrum antibiotics which contribute to antibiotic-resistance bacteria.
For the War Fighter, transport from FIELD to HOSPITAL is a challenging time for infection monitoring.
- Research shows combat wounds have high infection rates with burn wounds among the highest.
- For centuries combat-related wound infections have proved to be a major factor contributing to morbidity and mortality in war in both military personnel and civilians.
- A smart bandage with rapid infection detection through color change provides ease of use in transport and early detection.
- Nutrient Delivery provides advanced wound healing support and infection protection.
Our customizations are crucial for military applications because they allow the bandages to adapt to varying terrains and the unique bacterial strains encountered in different environments. Additionally, they can be tailored to specific wound types, providing precise and effective treatment for diverse injuries sustained in combat situations.
"Maintaining wound cleanliness in the field is a constant challenge. Early detection of infections can be the difference between life and death for injured soldiers."
"Infection detection in wounds is critical. Cross-contamination and delayed identification are major challenges in a hospital setting, making early detection tools indispensable."
Tracking infection patterns helps implement better care protocols and safety procedures, enhancing the overall health and safety of troops. This proactive approach not only improves individual soldier outcomes but also contributes to the effectiveness and readiness of military operations.
A packet labeled "For burn wounds" includes bandages paired with antibiotics in a blue packet. The bandage is applied to the burn wound at the point of injury and transported to the hospital.
If the bandage on the wound turns blue at any point in transit or after arrival, the wounded soldier would be started on the blue packet of medication immediately.
