Wound Care 3rd Edition Vol III Surgical and Trauma Wounds

There are millions of surgical procedures performed annually worldwide and the market for wound care products and techniques is significant. In the United States alone, there are over 100,000 surgeries performed daily. Surgical and trauma wounds are, by far, the most common types of wounds addressed in the wound care area. Enjoying market success depends on several factors. Manufacturers must develop a formidable strategy, which involves matching internal capabilities with external opportunities. By choosing to implement such strategies, providers are able to achieve high levels of clinical success while controlling use and costs. Manufacturers are continuing to create well-rounded and advanced products to provide a wider variety of choices. The aging of the population and continued advances in biotechnology drive the wound care industry. The aging world population created increased demand for all types of surgical intervention, particularly cardiovascular, orthopedic, urological and dermatological procedures. The emerging generation of wound care products and technologies are well-positioned to capitalize on this growth. Besides the always-improving synthetic dressing materials, newer technologies in wound treatment include the xenogeneic tissue scaffold, bilayered human dermal substitutes, recombinant growth factors, endoscopic subfascial ligation of venous perforators, and endovascular arterial repair techniques. New wound care products and devices are entering the market with lightening speed, all striving for the best clinical outcomes.

The market is varied in terms of both product offerings and product maturity. Several of the segments are mature such as anti-infectives, wound management, and sutures and staples of the wound closure market, while others such as biological dressings, some moist dressings, and sealants, adhesives, and glues of the wound closure segment are in the infant stages of development.

Thus some segments within the market are slowing in growth rates while others are driving growth. As identified in the report, conventional, mature products continue to generate the majority of sales; however, their growth rate is slow and limited by the maturity of the product and the competition. Advancements in technology are expected to drive growth during the forecast period.

Product Managers, Marketing Directors in the wound care industry as well as financial and consulting executives are among those that will find this a useful resource.
