An array of new
strategies is enhancing the healing time of wounds and boosting revenues at
device makers, according to Kalorama Information. Driven by innovative
products that heal wounds faster and increased wound occurrence, the worldwide
wound care market reached revenues of $16.1 million
in 2011, per our just released report on wound care products and devices.
Several of the products within the
worldwide wound care market are mature such as anti-infectives and pressure
relief devices, while others such as biological dressings and negative pressure
wound therapy are in the infant stages of development. Conventional, mature
products continue to generate the majority of sales; however, their growth rate
is slow whereas the new biological products are growing faster and operate with
less competitive activity. Speed-healing products such as growth factors and
protease modulating wound dressings are among the type of products showing
stronger revenue growth as they demonstrate good
results.
