Abstract
An integrated system for assessing wound exudates from the wound of a patient is described. The system may contain functionality to detect, process and report various wound parameters. The system also may make treatment determinations based on these findings. The system may detect one or more physiological values of the wound exudates from the wound of the patient. The system may means for comparing the one or more detected physiological values to predetermined physiological values in order to obtain a comparison result in real time. The system may include a processor 15 which provides an electronic signal based on a comparison result in which the electronic signal may correspond to guidelines for treating the wound 13. The system may be integrated with other wound treatment devices, such as negative pressure wound therapy devices (NPWT) 9.
