Advanced Treatment Methods
SurGraft XT Dual-Layer Allograft

Advanced Testing
Our wound testing methods allow identification of pathogens and sensitivity much faster than traditional microbiology, allowing the physician to begin early treatment with the correct antibiotic.Traditional culture may take up to 6 weeks to report fungal pathogens while the our lab Wound Panel can detect fungus immediately.
Cutting-Edge Equipment
