Abstract

Traumatic infection is a common disease for military man or the wounded civilians. If not timely treated, it could cause serious secondary sepsis and other complications. In order to achieve rapid diagnosis and treatment of traumatic infections, it calls for small portable devices, rapid diagnostic kits, and effective solution that can be used in the battlefield or other complex field. This chapter will mainly introduce the UPT-POCT based-portable biosensors and diagnostic kits, and their applications in combat-related traumatic infection.
