Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Devices Market– A Panacea for High-risk Wounds By Key Players are Smith & Nephew plc, Devon Medical, Paul Hartmann AG, Talley Group Limited, Coloplast A/S, ConvaTec Inc., Molnlycke Health Care AB, Medela AG

The primary benefits of NPWT such as elimination of edema, providing a moist wound-healing environment, and stimulating angiogenesis and blood flow to the wound is increasing its uptake. Moreover, the new guidelines outlined by the World Health Organization (WHO) in November 2016, recommends use of NPWT in closed-surgical incision in order to reduce risk of surgical site infection. The guidelines also recommends use of portable NPWT devices. Furthermore, increasing prevalence of diabetes (422 million sufferers until 2014, WHO) and increasing number of medical surgeries (312.9 million in 2012, WHO) is expected to drive the market for NPWT globally.

According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), diabetic foot ulcers costs the public and private payers in the U.S. US$ 9 billion – US$ 13 billion annually, in addition to diabetes treatment costs. Moreover, a study published by the ADA in 2014 found that the incidence of diabetic foot ulcers in the U.S. was 3.8% among the Medicare insured diabetic patients and 5.0% among privately insured diabetic patients. A study published in the Indian Journal of Health Sciences and Biomedical Research in 2015 revealed the prevalence of foot ulcers among diabetic patients in India to be 3%. With over 420 million diabetic patients globally (WHO, 2016), prevalence of 3% - 5% amounts to a sizeable population, highlighting the underlying potential of NPWT devices.

Moreover, with increasing age, prevalence of leg ulcers and other chronic wounds is also expected to increase. Although there is less prevalence of venous leg ulcer, treatment cost of this ulcer remains a burden on the economy. For instance, in U.K., prevalence of venous leg ulcers was 0.1%-0.3%, however, treatment costs was US$ 506 – US$ 760 million annually.

PICO, from Smith & Nephew plc, received the 2016 French Galien Award. PCIO is a single-use NPWT device that significantly reduces total cost and care needed for patients with pressure ulcers, dehisced surgical wounds, diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, and trauma wounds. The Prix Galien award acknowledges advances in pharmaceuticals and medical devices that improves the quality of human life.

In 2016, studies published in the ‘WOUNDS’ journal concluded that use of zinc-coated foam and silver-impregnated dressings along with NPWT in complex wound therapy demonstrated better clinical outcomes and faster recovery in patients as compared to conventional wound treatment methods. This further encourages the use of NPWT as an adjunctive therapy in wound treatment. To add to this, use of non-powered or mechanical MPWT devices allows a silent delivery of therapy with a much lighter weight than electrical NPWT devices.
