Burn Care and Wound Care |
A burn is an injury to skin or tissue cells
caused by radiation, heat, electricity, chemical contact, sunlight, or
radioactivity and a wound is a type of injury that can be caused by a torn or
cut of skin that involves the breaking of the membrane and damaging the
tissues. Thus, with the rise in number of burn injuries and wound cases, the demand
for burn care and wound care is also increasing with a rapid pace. Burn
injuries are one of the leading causes of unintentional death and injury in the
United States.
According
to Coherent Market Insights, The global Burn
Care and Wound Care Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 21,699.8 Mn in
2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 14.7% over the forecast period
(2021-2028).
According to the American Burn Association
(ABA), around 450,000 patients receive hospital and emergency room treatment
for burns each year. Therefore, ABA initiated the National Burn Awareness Week in
February 2021 to create awareness among people for safety and prevention
measures, regarding electric safety, common risk factor for burn incidence. The
primary causes of burn injury include fire-flame, scalds, contact with hot
object, and chemicals. According to ABA’s 2019 reports, overall, flame burns
are still the majority of injuries in the U.S.
This in turn is expected to increase the
demand for burn care and wound care in this region. In the recent past, the
burn care and wound care has seen numerous technological breakthroughs and is
emerged as key solution for the treatment of all types of burns and wounds.
Advanced burn care and wound care products are rapidly replacing conventional
methods of burn care and wound care, due to their better effectiveness, which
enables faster healing. Unhealed burns not only reduce quality of life but also
increase the risk of complications and infection.
Burn
care and wound care plays an important role in
the management of all types of burns and wounds. Some severe burns and wounds
may require immediate medical care to prevent further complications. For
serious burns, after appropriate first aid and wound assessment, treatment may
involve medicines, wound dressings, therapy, and surgery. The treatment aims to
control pain, prevent infection, remove dead tissue, reduce scarring risk, and
regain function.
