The present invention relates to a wound dressing or a wound swab, which allows the detection of at least three enzymes selected from the group consisting of lysosyme, elastase, cathepsin G and myeloperoxidase using colored substrate agents for these enzymes. These enzyme substrates can be bound to medically acceptable polymers or fibers.

Wound dressing or swab for detecting infection

The invention relates to an arrangement, comprising a solid carrier and a matrix arranged on the solid carrier, said matrix comprising at least one enzymatically convertible or modifiable molecule and comprising at least one enzyme that can be released by the conversion or modification of the molecule, said enzyme being capable of converting at least one color-changing substrate located in the matrix and/or on the solid carrier.

Test arrangement

Described herein is a method for detecting a wound infection comprising the steps of: contacting a sample obtained from a wound with at least two substrates for at least two enzymes selected from the group consisting of lysozyme, elastase, cathepsin G and myeloperoxidase, and detecting a wound infection when a conversion of the at least two substrates with said at least two enzymes are determined.
