WOUNDCHEK™ Protease Status

Why test for EPA?

Chronic wounds with elevated protease activity (EPA)
have a 90% probability they won’t heal¹ (without appropriate intervention)

But
only 28% of non-healing wounds have EPA¹

And
there are no visual cues to detect EPA^2,3

Non-healing wounds cost billions to the healthcare system^4,5
So, how do you know which wounds have EPA?
Developed to aid wound assessment and help clinicians target advanced wound care therapies more effectively, WOUNDCHEK™ Protease Status is able to detect EPA. As there are no clinical signs for EPA, wounds with EPA have so far gone undetected^2,3. WOUNDCHEK™ Protease Status will help clinicians establish within minutes which wounds may most benefit from a protease modulating therapy, ensuring appropriate and targeted use of these therapies.
