For many geriatric patients, pressure ulcers may become chronic in nature for no reason, and may remain 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 constitute a geriatric complication. Nutritional impairment, chronic diseases affecting multiple systems, and immobility predispose to aging of the skin in elderly patients, thus increasing vulnerability to ulcer pressure. The management of pressure ulcers requires a comprehensive and multidisciplinary method. Major factors considered include patient pathologies such as lung disease, peripheral vascular disease, primary disease severity, nutritional status, co-morbidities, etc. Pressure ulcer treatment attempts to avoid preventable circumstances. However, once the ulcer develops, proper staging of the wound and, as a result, rigorous treatment is required. Major treatment measures for pressure ulcers include the use of pressure relief devices, wound dressings and wound healing devices, tissue sealing agents, and so on. Of late, methods of predicting pressure ulcer risks and preventing pressure ulcer development have received significant attention. Pressure relief materials and dressings have been improved for allowing accelerated healing; new treatments such as negative pressure wound therapy, growth factors and electrical stimulation are also receiving significant attention in the global market.

For the purpose of this study, the global pressure ulcer treatment products market is classified in terms of products, wound types and usage area. Among the considered product types, wound dressings and pressure relief devices occupy the largest share in the global market. Though there is no clear leadership of any particular dressing type, it is evident that advanced wound healing products such as alginates, hydrocolloids and antimicrobials are the major dressing types that are receiving significant attention in the market.

Stage 3 and 4 wound types currently occupy the largest market hare globally, in terms of wound types. These are the most commonly evident wound types and require most extensive and prolonged treatment regimen. A typical stage 3 wound may take one to three months to heal, and stage 4 wounds may also accompany the patient through their lifetime. The requirement of advanced dressings in this wound group is also the highest, therefore generating highest revenue. Stage 1 and 2 wounds are characterized by penetration only in the skin tissue. Treatment of these wound types mainly require simple wound dressings and appropriate preventive care so as to avoid advancing to further stages.

Hospitals are the most prominent usage area for pressure ulcer treatment products. Greater patient footfall, and higher affordability for advanced products are the key factors facilitating the dominance of this segment. On the other hand, home care segment currently has the smallest market share in the global market. However, this segment shall cannibalize on the market share of hospitals due to growing preference of patients to move to home care in order to save healthcare costs.

Braun Melsungen AG, Cardinal Health, Molnlycke Health Care AB, Integra LifeSciences Corporation, 3M Healthcare, Essity Aktiebolag, Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc., BSN Medical and ArjoHuntleigh.
