Traditional Wound Dressings Being Preferred over Traditional Products

Wounds are among the most-common signs of a physical injury, and they also help in ascertaining how serious the injury is. From an often-harmless friction burn to those so deep that they expose the bone, wounds are of different types and severity, therefore require varying degrees of medical care. Apart from physical injuries, surgeries are a major cause of wounds, as such procedures mostly involve cutting into the flesh to access a bone, muscle, or organ.

Thus, with the increasing volume of surgeries, the incidence of acute and chronic wounds is rising. P&S Intelligence considers this to be a crucial factor in the growth of the wound dressing market from $11.4 billion in 2017 to $17.3 billion by 2023, at a 7.2% CAGR between 2018 and 2023. Apart from helping the wound heal, dressing is also supposed to protect it from becoming infected by microbes, which can not only delay the healing process but also make the wound worse.

Currently, a range of advanced and traditional wound dressings are available around the world, with advanced dressings finding the higher adoption. This is because these products display higher efficiency, a shorter healing duration, and fewer chances of infection compared to traditional dressings, such as gauzes, bandages, abdominal pads, and sponges. The types of advanced wound dressing available include wound contact layers, foams, alginates, hydrocolloids, collagen, hydrogels, films, Hydrofiber, and superabsorbents. Among these, superabsorbent dressings are expected to gain popularity rapidly in the future, owing to their appreciable healing ability.

With time, these advanced dressings are being improved further, to allow for more convenience and better healing. For instance, smart bandages, which are integrated with microprocessors, are quickly becoming popular. This is because these products can release specific doses of multiple drugs at a time, to allow for more-effective healing. Additionally, the temperature and pH of the wound and the area around it can be ascertained with the help of sensors embedded in these smart dressings.
