Dublin, Oct. 15, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/94hd8j/global_advanced)
has announced the addition of the
"Global Advanced Wound Management Market 2012-2016" report to
their offering.
One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the
increasing prevalence of diabetes and obesity. The Global Advanced
Wound Management market has also been witnessing the Increasing
Adoption of Nanotechnology in Wound Dressing. However, the High
Cost of Advanced Wound Dressings could pose a challenge to the
growth of this market.
Key vendors dominating this space include ConvaTec Inc., Kinetic
Concepts Inc., Molnlycke Health Care AB, and Smith and Nephew
plc.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio's Healthcare
team said: ''One of the major trends witnessed in the Global
Advanced
Wound Management market is the increasing demand for
combination dressings used to treat chronic wounds. Combination
dressings blend the physical and chemical properties of two or more
types of wound dressing products for optimal functionality of the
dressing. Generally, an antimicrobial agent and a biological
material that acts as the carrier are used in a combination
dressing. Combination dressings that are commonly used are silver
alginate dressings, silver collagen dressings, collagen
hydrocolloid dressings, and collagen and foam dressings. These
dressings can be used for all types of ulcers, as well as for
surgical and traumatic wounds. Thus, the increasing demand for
combination dressing products is a new trend that is expected to
have a positive impact on the growth of the market.''
According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is
the steadily growing aging population worldwide. The increasing
prevalence of chronic wounds such as pressure ulcers, diabetic
ulcers, and venous ulcers among the aging population is
contributing to the growth of the market.
