Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, are degenerative skin and underlying tissue injuries caused by prolonged pressure and shearing forces on the skin. They usually affect the bony and muscle areas of the body, such as back, buttocks, tailbone, heels, elbow, shoulder, and ankles. They lead to morbidity and mortality, especially among the masses with impaired sensation, poor nutrition, comorbidities, and prolonged immobility. They are cured by appropriate preventive measures and medications that help prevent deep craters with exposed muscle and bone. Pressure ulcers treatment involves removing necrotic tissue, reducing pressure on the affected skin, caring for wounds, controlling pain, and maintaining good nutrition and a moist environment for wound healing. It also involves wound cleansing with normal saline and appropriate dressings for the infected area. Besides this, early identification and treatment of these ulcers minimize the risk of complications, including bone and joint infections, cellulitis, sepsis, and cancer.
Pressure Ulcers Treatment Market Trends:
The increasing global geriatric population, which is more susceptible to developing pressure ulcers due to skin fragility and thinning of the cell layers and decreased capillary density and cell growth represents one of the key factors positively influencing the market. In addition, the increasing prevalence of obesity and chronic medical diseases is resulting in the surging occurrence of pressure ulcers. Apart from this, the rising awareness among individuals about the early diagnosis of bedsores, along with the easy availability of treatment, is also contributing to the market growth.
