Wound Dressings Market in India

16thJuly 2016 – Navi Mumbai, India: Market reports on India presents the latest report on “Indian Market Report for Wound Dressings”. Advanced dressings can also be used on a preventative basis when a superficial pressure ulcer in its early stages is detected.

The stages in wound healing are coagulation, inflammation, proliferation and epithelization. In traditional, dry wound healing, a scab forms while these processes occur underneath the hardened, protective layer. The theory of moist wound care dictates that healing is greatly improved in an optimized moist environment. Moist dressings regulate wound healing, specifically by controlling moisture levels. Cell growth, proliferation and migration occur at a faster rate, especially when a wound cannot close due to abnormalities in the bodys physiological processes. Moist wound dressings can play an important role in facilitating the bodys natural healing processes. When an adequate amount of wound fluid is in contact with necrotic tissue, the bodys enzymes can re-hydrate and liquefy these hardened tissues in a process called autolytic debridement. The wound cannot be too wet, however, as this will cause tissue to soften and become weak, otherwise known as maceration.

Advanced dressings can also be used on a preventative basis when a superficial pressure ulcer in its early stages is detected. The market for moist dressings includes: foams, transparent films, hydrocolloids, alginates, hydrogels, hydrofibers and superabsorbent dressings. Generally, the least to most absorptive dressings are: hydrogels, transparent films, hydrocolloids, alginate foams and superabsorbent dressings. These dressings come in various formats. Dressings can have an adhesive tape at the surrounding edges (called an island dressing) or can be applied with the addition of a secondary dressing to secure the moist dressing in place. They can also come in sheets, rope or amorphous gel.
