INTRODUCTION
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
This updated BCC Research report provides an overview of advanced wound care products, detailed market analyses and discussions of competitive environments. The
study includes information about significant products, players, issues and trends and other information affecting the wound care industry.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
Advanced wound management technologies have emerged from the shadows to become, in the last 30 years, significant products in the treatment and management of
wounds. While conventionally made wound management product proteins are considerable and generally less expensive, new products and biotechnological
advancements are continuing to revolutionize the wound management market. New technological products are competing in a fast track market that seeks to improve the
quality of life for millions of individuals needing both acute and chronic wound management.
Ongoing patient management studies will increase the number of indications, and keeping in touch with these applications for the various advanced wound management
products is good business practice. This study will provide its readers with the knowledge to adequately view and assess the advanced wound management
movement and provide insight into market potential.
SCOPE OF REPORT
This document is designed to be a helpful business tool that will provide a thorough evaluation of the advanced wound management market. The scope of this study is U.S.
based and identifies markets in four general segments:
- Advanced dressings.
- Surgical sealants.
- Anti-adhesion products and other related wound healing products.
- Wound healing devices.
Each market segment provides detailed information based on product categories, product use, forecasts and competitive analyses.
Advanced wound management deals with those products that involve new techniques and therapies, are of benefit in healing wounds, and result in overall lower costs for
management. They incorporate biotechnological advancements and improved methods for dealing with wounds. Products in this study are considered to be at the forefront of wound management technology.
Traditional wound management products, those that have previously been used in the marketplace, are not addressed in this analysis. Industry experts classify “advanced
wound management products” as those that include biological dressings, surgical sealants, synthetic dressings, anti-adhesion products and other related wound healing
products
