Advanced Wound Care Management is Driven by Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases

Advanced wound care management involves wound debridement, wound cleansing, and the use of advanced wound dressings such as hydrocolloid dressing, foam dressing, film dressing, silver dressing, alginate dressing, and hydrogel dressing for the treatment of acute and chronic wounds. These advanced wound dressings protect the wound from external bacteria and maintain a moist environment that promotes healing. Chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and pressure ulcers are increasing worldwide which requires advanced wound management. According to CDC, in 2021 around 34.2 million people had diabetes in the US which is expected to rise significantly in the coming years.
