pressure wound therapy market provides in depth analysis of segments and sub-segments
in global as well as regional negative pressure wound therapy market. The study
also highlights the impact of drivers, restraints and macro indicators on the
global and regional negative pressure wound therapy market over the short term
as well as long term. The report is a comprehensive presentation of trends,
forecast and dollar values of global negative pressure wound therapy market.
According to report the global negative pressure wound therapy market is
projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% over the forecast period of 2017-2023. A
wound is generally defined as an injury to living tissue by a cut, blow or
other impact, typically one in which the skin is broken. These wounds are
basically classified as chronic and acute wounds. Among these, acute wound
lasts for less than eight weeks in duration and follows normal stages of wound
healing, whereas chronic wounds does not proceed through the normal healing
stages and lasts for longer time. There are various factors which influence the
development of chronic wounds, which includes age, diabetes, obesity, cancer,
chemotherapy, poor nutrition, infection, chronic illness, etc.
The wound care market comprises two main
segments, namely traditional wound dressings and advanced wound care products.
Traditional wound dressings are extensively used by healthcare professional
particularly under dry environment to protect wound from external factors.
Advanced wound care products are used by specialist professionals to provide a
therapeutic effect that supports wound healing. Based on type of technology
used in wound healing process, these products are divided into moist wound care
dressings, biologics, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) devices and other
therapeutic devices. Among these, NPWT therapy has become a popular method of
treating a large number of acute and chronic wounds over the past decade and
developed as an important addition to the vast number of wound treatments
available to the healthcare professionals. This NPWT device applies suction and
removes excess fluid from the wound bed through a tubing system attached to a
canister with an objective to improve the wound environment and thereby promote
healing. This therapy is also known as atmospheric pressure therapy and topic negative
pressure therapy. The main NPWT device currently in use is the foam-based
V.A.C. system developed by acelity.
