Urine test strips for point of care screening, reading ten parameters from a single dipped strip. The result is there in under a minute, which is why they remain a first step in checking for infection, hydration problems or unexplained changes in a client’s condition.
In aged care and community nursing, a strip test is often what turns a vague report of confusion or new incontinence into a clear reason to call the GP. Each strip is used once and read against the colour chart or on a compatible reader.
Supplied in a tube sized for a clinic room or a nursing bag, so a single pack covers a long run of routine checks.
