Market Insights
A pressure ulcer or bedsore is a localized injury to the skin or tissue that occurs due to unrelieved pressure. Pressure ulcers are a major health problem affecting millions of people every year; the incidence of pressure continues to rise and is even deadly in some nations where the healthcare infrastructure is still underdeveloped. In addition, the price of treating pressure ulcers can be as much as 2.5 times the cost of avoidance. Pressure ulcer management involves the identification of at-risk patients and the execution of preventive and wound care policies. Innovation in the field of dressing, awareness-raising and better home care refunds are important variables that have increased the size of the market for pressure ulcer therapy products.
For many geriatric patients, pressure ulcers may become chronic in nature for no reason and may stay in their lifetime. Several Grade 3 and 4 patients develop chronic wounds and may also be fatal due to ulcer complications such as sepsis and osteomyelitis. The incidence of pressure ulcers continues to be a geriatric complication. Nutritional deficiencies, chronic diseases influencing various structures, and immobility predispose to aging of the skin in older patients, thus improving vulnerability to pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcer management requires a extensive and multidisciplinary approach. Major variables considered include patient pathologies such as lung disease, peripheral vascular disease, main disease severity, dietary status, co-morbidity, etc. Pressure ulcer therapy objectives include avoiding preventable conditions. However, once the ulcer grows, adequate staging of the wound and, as a result, strict treatment is needed. Major therapy options for pressure ulcers include the use of pressure relief machines, wound dressings and wound healing equipment, tissue sealing agents, and so on. Lately, the techniques used to predict pressure ulcer hazards and prevent the growth of pressure ulcers have gained considerable attention. Pressure relief materials and dressings have been enhanced to allow rapid healing; fresh treatments such as negative pressure wound treatment, growth factors and electrical stimulation are also receiving important attention on the worldwide market.
