Polymicrobial infections can lead to severe PID owing to bacterial synergy. The identification of bacteria is crucial for guiding antibiotic treatment.
Low Frequency Ultrasound Debridement (LFUD) is a less painful, less traumatic method of wound debridement by imploding pulsatile ultrasound shockwaves to a selected wound bed along with a wound irrigation solution. Apart from wound debridement, LFUD is capable of biofilm disruption and wound contraction.
