The present disclosure provides devices and rapid methods to acquire a wound sample to detect and measure NOx, and optionally, one or more other analytes that are indicative of the status of a wound.

Methods of determining NOx in a wound sample

A low trauma pressure-sensitive adhesive coated substrate comprising a sheet material, tape or laminate structure designed to adhere to skin or like surfaces. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of this adhesive coated substrate is a fibrous adhesive layer generally having a basis weight of from 5 to 200 g/m applied to a conformable backing or substrate. The fibrous adhesive layer has a textured outer face and persistent porosity between discrete adhesive fibers. Generally, the fibrous adhesive layer has a MVTR (measured by ASTM E 96-80 at 40&deg; C.) of at least 1000 g/m /day, preferably at least 6000 g/m /day.
