Diabetic Foot Ulcers are Expected to Witness Rapid Growth in the Market Studied
Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU) is one of the most common complications associated with Diabetes and is posing a burden on several countries across the region. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017, every year about 73,000 amputations of the lower limb not related to trauma are performed on people with diabetes, in the United States. With the increasing rise in the prevalence of diabetes in the region, the foot ulcers are also on a hike, as 10% of people with diabetes have a foot ulcer.
Several studies have revealed that NPWT is helpful in reducing the time it takes wounds to heal. Faster wound healing results in an overall decrease in hospitalization and avoids the additional morbidity of chronic wounds. Hence, due to the efficacy of the NPWT in healing the DFU in less time, the demand for NPWT is increasing despite the high price of it. Added to that, rising incidence and prevalence of DFU across the region are fuelling the segment growth.
